FOREWORD

The part that Newton took in the World War, thru
its men and women and in particular by its youth,
deserves the pen of an experienced historian, for it is
a record of which all of us can be justly proud.

In the multiplicity of important events which
crowded each other so closely during the strenuous
months of the World War, it is difficult to rank them
correctly and if, in the following pages, we have failed
to give due credit to any branch of the service, we
assure our readers that it is not done intentionally.

Newton was among the first cities in the Common-
wealth to organize a committee on Public Safety, and
which served as a central force of many of the war
activities in which this city engaged. Its slogan was
“Help Win the War” and it engaged in food produc-
tion, food conservation, recruiting for military service,
offering advice and assistance to draftees and their
families and in many other ways performing effective
service.

The wonderful work done by the women of the
city deserves ample space and shows a high degree of
patriotism and efficiency.

The operation of the Selective Service Act, touch-
ing the lives and fortunes of nearly three thousand of
our young men, needs the pen of a Dickens to ade-
quately describe it.

The part Newton played in financing the war ought
not to be forgotten. The four Liberty Loans and the

final Victory Loan found our people alive to the needs
of the Federal Government, and our record in that di-
rection is one of which every citizen can well be proud.
1 he Red Cross, \ . M. C. A., United War Work and
other drives were most successful, and liberal contribu-
tions were made of socks, sweaters and other articles
of clothing.

Our people turned their lawns into vegetable gardens,
our high school boys spent the summer months in farm
production, our people observed the rules and regula-
tions of the Food Control Act, purchasing substitutes
for flour and fuel, accepting the restrictions on the
use of sugar, going without heat on Heatless Mondays,
and refraining from using automobiles on Gasless
Sundays.

And finally what shall we say of those who gave the
“Last full measure of devotion.” Nearly a hundred of
our young men. who left our fair city with hearts
aflame with patriotism never returned and the vacant
chair brings cherished memories in the minds and
hearts of loved ones, which are sacred to the home and
fireside. We do not wish to recall the sadness of those
memories, but we are proud that our young men were
not afraid of the Grim Reaper and that the splendid
record they made shall be preserved as an example
to coming generations.

It is to these boys that we dedicate this Memorial
of their service overseas and of our service here at
home.

WAR-TIME ACTIVITIES IN NEWTON

While the larger details of the life in this city dur-
ing the World War are fairly easy to picture and are
covered in special chapters in this volume, there were
many small but important factors which are hard to
adequately chronicle.

The attitude of our people all through the war
period, was to heartily support and to co-operate with
all agencies which were working for a successful ter-
mination of the conflict. The sinking of the Lusitania
and the stories of German atrocities, stirred everyone
to a white heat and long before the actual entrance of
the United States into the war, preparations were being
quietly made for what was believed to be the ultimate
outcome.

With such a background, the requests and orders of
the State and Federal authorities were received in a
most cheerful spirit and given prompt attention.

Newton is so closely allied to Boston, that many of
our people took more interest in the war work of that
city than they did of their home town.

The following Newton residents served on the com-
mittees of the Massachusetts Committee on Public
Safety :

Finance, Daniel G. Wing; Industrial Survey, Edwin
P. Brown; Transportation, Ftoward M. Biscoe, Charles
P. Hall ; Hygiene, Louis Iv. Liggett ; Federal and State
Legislation, James P. Richardson ; State Protection,
Henry I. Harriman; Military Equipment and Sup-
plies, Edward J. Frost, Louis K. Liggett, James L.
Richards ; Emergency Help and Equipment, Morton
G. Tuttle; Military and Concentration Camps, Col.
William B. Emery; Recruiting, George S. Smith;
Home Economics, George H. Ellis; Educational Di-
rectors and Publicity Agents, Grace M. Burt.

The attitude of the city toward the war was clearly
shown by a postal card canvass made of 8204 voters.
Two questions were asked: First, favorable or opposed
to the war ; second, relative to compulsory military
training and service. Two thousand, one hundred and
ninety-three cards were returned on the first question,
1261 favorable and 892 opposed to war. On the second
question 2147 replies were received of which 1662
were in favor and 485 opposed.

Previous to our formal entry in the war, patriotic
meetings were held in various parts of the city, the
first on March 14, 1917, at Bray Hall, Newton Centre,
at which Frank H. Stewart presided and Prof. William
R. Thayer, Godfrey Cabot and Dr. Morton Prince
were the speakers. On March 29 another enthusiastic
meeting was held in the State Armory, at which Wil-
liam F. Garcelon presided and the speakers included
Senator John W. Weeks, Mayor Edwin O. Childs,
Hon. John A. Iveliher, Rev. Edward T. Sullivan,
Congressman William H. Carter, and Captain Henry
D. Cormerais.

The pacifists were also active and held a meeting in
Bray Hall on March 22, at which the speakers were
Rev. A. J. Muste, Brent D. Allinson and Prof. Manley
O. Hudson.

On Sunday, March 25, impressive services were held
in St. John’s Church, Newtonville, and Eliot Church,
Newton, at which national flags were presented and
dedicated. Similar exercises were held in Central
Church, Newtonville, on Sunday, April 22.

The declaration of war by Congress was the occasion
for raising of flags all over the city, and for meetings
for patriotic purposes.

The first appeal for funds for war purposes was
made on May 4, 1917 when $10,000 was asked to
support Y. M. C. A. huts in the war zone.

Fifty-eight Newton young men were successful in
their applications for commissions in the army and
were ordered to the Officers’ Training Corps at Platts-
burg, N. Y., on May 12 and 14.

On June 1, 1917, John R. Simpson of this city was
appointed purchasing agent for the United States with
rank of major and left at once for Washington.

Company C, 5th Regiment, was mobilized for active
service on July 25th and went into camp on Claflin
Field. They were given a farewell banquet on the
Field and a dance later in the State Armory on August
8th. This was followed by a farewell parade on August
10th. On August 7th the Company was merged into
the Federal service and became Co. C of the 101st
Regiment of the National Guard. They left for camp
at Framingham on August 17th and sailed for France
on September 7, leaving a small detail in camp at
Framingham. Later this detail was sent to Camp
Greene, North Carolina.

In September, M. W. Murray, master of the Voca-
tional High School, was given leave of absence by the
school committee to accept a position as superintendent
of the work of vocational training of maimed and
wounded soldiers at Washington.

Rev. Oscar B. Hawes, minister of the Newton Cen-
tre Unitarian Church, was given a leave of absence for
a year for work abroad and was given a farewell ban-
quet on November 28th. Later in January Rev. G.
Charles Gray, pastor of the Newton M. E. Church
was commissioned as chaplain in the 353rd Infantry,
N. G., and left for Camp Funston in Kansas.

While the need of enonomy in the use of coal as
fuel had been stressed all through the fall of 1917,
it was not until the winter of 1917-18 that more
stringent measures were deemed necessary by the Fuel
Administration of the government. On January 18,
orders were given to all manufacturers to close dowm
production for a period of five days and in conse-
quence 2000 persons were out of work in this city.
The order also required all store keepers to curtail
lights in windows and prohibited certain kinds of
business from using window lights altogether. This
was also followed by orders to curtail the use of heat
on Mondays of each week. Later, in the fall of 1918,
orders were issued prohibiting the sale or use of gaso-
line on Sundays.

To further economize in the use of coal, many of
the Protestant churches held union services.

5

The Food Administration also issued drastic orders
regarding the use, sale and hoarding of wheat flour
and sugar. Wheat flour could not be sold without the
purchase of pound for pound of substitutes, such as
rice flour, corn meal or barley. One order in force for
a short period required the purchase of a bushel of
potatoes with every bag of wheat flour. Hoarding was
prohibited and every householder having more than
30 pounds of flour on hand on May 4, 1918, was re-
quired to report it.

The price of sugar rapidly increased as the shortage
became serious, running as high as 24 to 26 cents per
pound. On January 1, 1918, sugar rations were es-
tablished, each family being limited to three pounds per
person per month. Maple and corn syrup and honey
were some of the substitutes.

All through the early months of 1918, drives were
instituted in the different villages for funds to sup-
ply the women’s organizations with material for war
work and for other similar purposes. The drive in
Newtonville yielded $17,700; in Newton Corner,
$17,000; in Newton Highlands, $10,187, and a sub-
stantial amount in West Newton.

Many of the churches had wooden tablets prepared
containing the names of the young men of that parish
who were in active service. These tablets were placed
in front of the church doors and in many cases were
dedicated with impressive ceremonies. One of the
outstanding events of this character was that of the
Church of the Sacred Heart in Newton Centre on
June 16th, 1917. Another interesting service was the
unveiling of a tablet at the Newton High School con-
taining the names of 460 pupils of that school in
service.

The work of the Newton Free Library deserves
especial mention. In the drive for the War Library
Fund of 1917, Newton raised $4528, or more than
double the quota assigned to the city. Contributions
of 5000 books were received and shipped to Camp
Wheeler in Georgia and Camp Jackson in South Caro-
lina. Mr. Harold T. Dougherty, the librarian, was
also granted leave of absence to supervise the New
England Branch of the National War Library organ-
ization. In 1918 Mr. Dougherty was given a longer
leave of absence and built the library at Kelly Field,
Texas, and later was transferred to the Dispatch Office
at Newport News, Va., where he had charge of the
books sent across. Still later Mr. Dougherty went to
France for continued library work. Meanwhile, fur-
ther contributions of books were received at the main
library, making a total of 12,700 volumes, all of which
were forwarded to the various camps.

Among some of the other features of interest we
might mention the grand military ball in Bray Hall,
Newton Centre, by the Mothers’ Rest, on December
29, 1917, a grand outdoor rally at Norumbega Park on
May 25th, graced by the presence of Lieutenant-
Governor Calvin Coolidge and William A. Wellman,
the noted aviator, and a patriotic fete on Claflin Field.
Newtonville, on June 1st. Our Italian citizens showed
their patriotic fervor by staging a patriotic parade
followed by a flag raising on West Newton Common
on September 21.

Allied to the drives for the Liberty loans was that
of the Newton Chapter Branch of the Metropolitan
Chapter of the American Red Cross for memberships.
With about 1700 members when the Chapter was or-

ganized in April. 1917, as the result of an intensive
drive on similar lines to that of the Liberty loans, the
membership was increased to 16,626 in December,
1917. Another drive was held in the fall of 1918 and
the membership rose to 16,865 on October 1st, when
the organization became the Newton Chapter.

The influenza epidemic in the fall of 1918 was a
most serious affair. There were 5967 cases reported
to the Board of Health, and 195 deaths. The Newton
Hospital had 359 cases with 64 deaths and the old
Woodland Park hotel, turned into a temporary hospital
by the Newton Chapter of the Red Cross, had 170
patients, of whom 26 died. The work done by the
Red Cross and the Newton Constabulary in connection
with the temporary hospital was highly commended by
the authorities. The public schools were not opened
that fall until October 21st.

Due to the greatly increased number of workmen
employed at the Watertown Arsenal, a committee was
appointed under the name of the Charles River Valley
Home Building Committee, to provide homes for these
workmen. The Newton members of this committee
were Hon. Henry E. Bothfeld, chairman, Samuel
Hyslop, Charles E. Gibson, John R. Prescott and
Percy M. Blake, directors.

On November 1st. 1918, a Board of Curtailment of
Non-War Construction was appointed consisting of
Alonzo R. Weed, chairman, Walter H. Barker, Alfred
MacDonald, Horace W. Orr, A Stuart Pratt, and A.
Dudley Dowd. It was the duty of this hoard to recom-
mend to the War Industries Board its approval or dis-
approval of all new building construction in Newton.

In common with the rest of the country, Newton
welcomed the armistice with unparalled enthusiasm.
The ringing of bells, tooting of whistles and joyous
chimes told the people in the early morning that the
great war was over. Impromptu parade were formed
in the early morning at Nonantum and Upper Falls.
In the evening, a parade of over 1500 persons was
formed in Auburndale. W. J. Spaulding was chief
marshal, the Constabulary band furnished music and
the Auburndale unit of the Constabulary took part.
On arriving at Nve Park, a patriotic meeting was held
near the roll of honor with Rev. Dr. George S. Butters
and Congressman-elect Robert Luce as speakers.

Another large parade was formed in the afternoon
at Upper Falls, with Alderman Harry L. Cook as
marshal.

All day Monday and Tuesday, the victory were cele-
brated with all kinds of noise and enthusiasm.

On Tuesday night there was a patriotic meeting in
Bray Hall, Newton Centre, following an informal
parade under the leadership of John C. deMille. Dr.
George L. West presided at the meeting and Rev.
Edward T. Sullivan was the speaker.

At all the schools special programs of victory were
held. Mr. Henry I. Harriman made the address at
the Vocational High School, Mr. E. C. Adams at the
Classical High School.

A special service of thanksgiving was held Thurs-
day afternoon at Grace Church, Newton, and Te
Deums were sung in the Catholic churches of the city.

The Italian colony at Nonantum held a celebration
on Sunday and the Italians of West Newton had a
parade with flags and bands, and speeches were made
by Rev. J. Edgar Park and S. F. Argento.

canvassed that village for subscriptions to a fund for a
War Memorial and for a Welcome Home celebration.
About $1200 was raised and placed in the bands of
the Village Improvement Society. With this money
a handsome memorial was placed on the grounds of the
Emerson School with appropriate exercises, under the
direction of a committee consisting of Walter Dug-
ean. Arthur D. Colby, fames Gormley and Miss Ethel
W. Sabin.

The Welcome Home celebration took the form of
a banquet and dance at Lincoln Hall, Newton High-
lands, on April 19, 1919.

WELCOMED HOME

A well planned and well executed program to ex-
tend a welcome home to the men from Newton who
had been in service abroad was successfully carried
out on Saturday, June 7, 1919.

Between 900 and 1000 reported at noon at the
various village centres, where between 300 and 400
automobiles were furnished to take them about
the city.

The automobiles arrived at the vicinity of Lake
Street and Commonwealth Avenue about one o’clock,
where Captain Henry W. Crowell and a corps of
aides assigned them to place in the line, with the
machines carrying C Company boys at the head of
the parade.

The invited guests included Brigadier General John
H. Sherburne, Colonel Edward L. Logan, Colonel
G. W. Bunnell, Lieutenant Colonel Philip S. Schuyler,
Captain Henry D. Cormerais and Chaplain William
J. Farrell, representing the Army, and Captain W. B.
Edgar and Commander N. T. Nelson, representing
the Navy.

The invited guests were met by Mayor Edwin O.
Childs, and President Harriman and Vice-President
Cole of the Board of Aldermen, just over the Boston
line, and promptly at two o’clock the procession started,
with an automobile carrying a beautiful memorial
service banner with the number 85 on a gold star to
indicate those residents of this city who had given their
lives in the great war.

The parade passed through Chestnut Hill, Thomp-
sonville, Newton Centre, Newton Highlands, Upper
Falls, Waban, Lower Falls, Auburndale, Newtonville,
Newton, Nonantum, West Newton and Auburndale
again to Norumbega Park.

A free canteen service was established along the
line of march at the various points of assembly by the
Y. M. C. A. and Red Cross Society to serve the boys
before they moved off on parade.

At Lasell, on Woodland Road, Auburndale, the girls
were so arranged on the lawn as to form the letter
“L” and every girl held a red or white toy balloon,
making a pretty picture. Further along on Woodland
Road in front of one of the dormitories, the senior
class in caps and gowns also formed the letter “L.”

The greatest enthusiasm was manifested as the
boys passed through Nonantum, the boys being greeted
with cheers and the waving of flags. At West New-
ton, the City Hall grand stand was filled with the
invited guests of the day, the G. A. R. and Spanish
War veterans, and members of the city government
and a marching salute was given as the machines
moved slowly by. The Newton Constabulary band

played at this point, the only music along the line
of march.

Nearly every store in the city on the route of the
parade carried the national colors in some form or
another, many of the decorations, notably those at the
Bank Building in Nonantum Square, and the Gas
Company building, being quite elaborate. 4 he city
buildings were handsomely adorned, the City Hall and
reviewing stand in particular. Only a few residences
were decorated, other than by the display flags, the
parochial residence in Newton being a notable excep-
tion, and the home of Mr. Franklin Spooner on Han-
cock Street, Auburndale, being particularly attractive
with thousands of small flags outlining the grounds
and buildings.

The entertainment at Norumbega Park was short,
snappy, and good.

President Harriman, chairman of the committee
on arrangements, presided. He said the city was in-
deed proud of the record made by 3000 of its young
men who had loyally served the country and did honor
to those who had paid the supreme sacrifice. The great
battles in which you have participated will always
stand high in American history and we take supreme
satisfactory in the quality, skill and bravery in which
you have excelled.

Mayor Childs reminded those present that on this
very spot 53 years ago the children of Newton wel-
comed home the returning soldiers from the Civil
War, while today their children welcome home those
who have saved civilization. Today we are grateful
to God for what you did, for your safety and for your
return. You have won our admiration for what you
have done, but there still remains something to do.
We look out upon a plastic world, — a world ready to
be made what we will and we look to you for help in
bringing about a better social order.

Brigadier-General John H. Sherburne, the next
speaker, bore testimony to the propriety of this re-
ception, for he saw Newton men in action time after
time. Pie urged the men to still fight for 100 per cent
Americanism, and make themselves felt.

Colonel George W. Bunnell said that the Yankee
Division stood for what every soldier and sailor stood
— country and duty. You men have been through try-
ing times and have learned something that makes you
different. You must watch and study, fight for the
right, justice and fair play, and get into the fight
against Bolshevism.

Colonel Edward L. Logan received a warm reception
and told how the amalgamation of the old 5th and 9th
regiments into the 101st had been successfully accom-
plished. His mention of Boughan, Joyce, Hyatt, and
Raymond brought forth salvos of applause and he
said that these men were the type of men Newton had
given to the war, and that they had fought for the
people they loved, the homes they cherished and the
institutions they revered.

Father William J. Farrell, the chaplain of the 26th
Division, received a splendid reception. He made a
stirring speech which went right to the hearts of all
who heard it, urging the men not to forget the lessons
they had learned abroad, and to fight sedition,
I. W. W.ism, Bolshevism as they had fought the Hun.

Governor Calvin Coolidge came in a little later and
spoke briefly, reminding the men that while they were

7

away they had not been forgotten. He expressed the
gratitude of Massachusetts for what they had done and
urged them to use the same courage and same patience
in private life — confident that they would perform the
same efficient service in peace as in war.

An excellent vaudeville entertainment followed for
about an hour and then the guests proceeded to large
tents on the ball field where covers had been laid for
1450. Here an excellent dinner of grape fruit, scal-
loped fish, cold chicken, lobster and chicken salads and
various kinds of ice creams, coffee, cigars and cigar-
ettes had been provided. Seventy-five ladies assisted
the regular waiters in caring for the diners and the
band which had been on duty at the park since three
o’clock, provided music while the meal was in progress.

In the evening the State Armory at West Newton
was crowded to the doors at a grand ball given the
men. Continuous music was furnished by the Con-
stabulary band and an orchestra, and ice cream and
cake was served in an adjoining tent. Captain Henry
D. Cormerais was floor director, and he was assisted
by the following aides, Captain Edward Edmunds, Jr.,
First Sergeant Wesley Pease. Sergeant A. Leo Taffe,
Sergeant John F. Faherty, Sergeant Edward J. Can-
non, Corporal Albert J. Considine, and Corporal
Thomas Hickey.

The committee on arrangements consisted of Presi-
dent Henry I. Harriman, chairman, Mayor Edwin O.
Childs, Aldermen Bancroft L. Goodwin, Reuben Fork-
nail, Herbert M. Cole, Harry L. Cook, Fred M. Blan-
chard, Percy M. Blake, W. J. Spaulding, William L.
Allen, with Mr. Fred M. Blanchard, chairman of the
parade committee, Representative Bernard Early,
chairman of the park and dinner committee, and Gen.
James G. White, chairman of the ball committee.
Major John C. deMille was chief marshal. Captain
Henry W. Crowell of Co. A, State Guard, was chair-
man of the automobile committee.

Great credit is due to all these gentlemen for the
successful carrying out of most excellent plans for
this day.

The boys were all presented with a handsome sou-

venir badge, which acted as a pass of admission to the
festivities of the day.

There was a most gratifying response to the request
of the committee that the men appear in uniform, the
men in citizen clothes being hardly noticeable.

A pleasing incident of the afternoon was the pre-
sentation at the dinner, of a gold watch to Thomas
Tredden of Auburndale. The presentation was made
by Mayor Childs and was the gift of Auburndale
friends of Mr. Tredden, who was the youngest resi-
dent of that village to enlist.

As a part of the Welcome Home the city govern-
ment authorized the preparation of a handsomely il-
luminated scroll to be awarded to every Newton man
in the service. The scroll is signed by Mayor Childs,
City Clerk Grant and by Aldermen Justin A. McCar-
thy, Ernest G. Hapgood and Philip Nichols. It reads
as follows :

CITY OF NEWTON
Massachusetts

Pursuant to an order adopted by the Board of Aider-
men, December sixteenth, nineteen hundred and
eighteen, in recognition of the illustrious service ren-
dered to our country by the young men of Newton and
in appreciation of the many sacrifices made by them
in the righteous cause of Liberty and Justice, with
pride in their untarnished record and the undying fame
bestowed upon her by their valiant deeds, the City of
Newton by these presents, expresses to

JOHN DOE

her heartfelt gratitude for his services in the armed
forces of the United States during the Great War,
so that it may be known that now, as in former days,
the people of this city are not forgetful of the patriotic
spirit of her sons who have offered their lives to their
country in the hour of need, and have done their part
to make it certain that government of the people, by
the people and for the people shall not perish from
the earth.

COMMITTEE ON PUBLIC SAFETY

The Newton Committee on Public Safety was first
organized March 19, 1917, under the name “Soldiers’
Auxiliary”, for the purpose of aiding the Newton or-
ganization, Company C of the Fifth Regiment, and
other Newton men joining the colors.

At the suggestion of the Massachusetts State Com-
mittee on Public Safety, the name was changed and it
was decided to co-operate with the State Committee.
Headquarters were first established at the West New-
ton Armory on March 23 and the office at 893 Wash-
ington Street was opened April 25, 1917.

The late Captain Morton E. Cobb was the first sec-
retary and continued as such until he received his com-
mission and began his preparation for early active
service. His untiring energy and enthusiastic patriot-
ism contributed largely to the thoroughness and success
of the Committee in the first few months of activity.
Following his resignation Alfred MacDonald acted as
secretary.

The work of this committee is best explained by the
following reports of its sub-committees:

“Farm, Finance or Fight”

FOOD PRODUCTION AND CONSERVATION

servation of the Newton Committee on Public Safety
was organized April 7th in response to the President’s
“War Garden” proclamation following the declaration
of war.

The Committee started its work by making a census
of unused land in the city available for gardens. Circu-
lars and return postal cards were distributed to every
resident of Newton asking the following questions:

“1. Have you land for a garden? If so,
will you cultivate it yourself ?

“2. Have you surplus land which you will
allow some other person to cultivate?

“3. If you have no land for a garden, will
you have a garden if land is furnished?”

Headquarters were then established in each of the
ten villages for the actual work of distributing the
available land to applicants. These headquarters were,
in most cases, financed by the Local Improvement As-
sociations of the villages in which they were located.

Forest Commissioner W. W. Colton made a census
of parks and other city land adapted to gardening.
Several of these parks were in such condition that
they would be permanently benefited by plowing and
cultivation. Much of the city land thus obtained was
used for children’s gardens and school gardens, and
the remainder distributed to individuals through the
local headquarters. The Metropolitan Park Commis-
sion also gave permission for the use of some of their
land at Newton Lower Falls. Several industrial con-
cerns also furnished land for their employees. Among
these were the Saco-Lowell Shops and Saxony Worsted
Mills. City land was also distributed to employees of
the Telephone Co., the Newtonville Fire Co., and the
Street and Park Department employees cultivated about
ar. acre of the city land at West Newton. The work
at Waban under the direction of the Waban Improve-
ment Association was particularly conspicuous. There
the local unit of the Constabulary established a com-
munity garden which was planted and cared for by
the members.

To relieve the shortage of labor in the spring and
early summer 200 high school boys volunteered to
work at gardening afternoons and Saturdays for a
nominal wage, generally 20 cents per hour. Requests
for boys for such work were handled through Mr.
Samuel Thurber of the Technical High School. The
results, both from the standpoint of benefit to the boys
and to the people for whom they worked, was inva-
riably satisfactory.

Inspection

To give aid and advice to amateur gardeners a com-
mittee on garden supervision consisting of Forest Com-
missioner W. W. Colton and Alfred MacDonald was
appointed. Cyril Forbush, who had had technical train-
ing and some practical experience in agricultural work,
was engaged to work under the direction of this com-
mittee to make inspections and answer inquiries.

Amateur gardeners were encouraged to apply for
regular inspections of their gardens when they or their
representatives could be met on the land and recom-
mendations made and advice given. 240 owners re-
quested this service, and each garden was inspected

at least 3 times during the summer. A card record
of the condition of these gardens was kept at the
office of the Committee at Newtonville. Of the 240
gardens thus regularly inspected, 165 were entirely
free from weeds during the entire season; 68 were
found to have a few weeds on at least one visit; and
in but 6 were the weeds allowed to grow to any extent.
156 wrere entirely free from insects; and in 73 aphis,
rose bugs, or potato beetles were found. 199 recom-
mendations for spraying, cultivating, etc., were made.

At the request of the State Committee on Public
Safety for statistics of the area under cultivation, Mr.
E. P. Hatch, working through the churches, made
house-to-house canvass of the entire city, and the fol-
lowing statistics as to the results of the work were
obtained :

Number of gardens in 1916 1,206

Agriculture Fair

An Agriculture Fair at Norumbega Park, promoted
by the Auburndale Women’s Club was held on Sep-
tember 29, 1917. This fair gave successful gardeners,
both adults and children, an opportunity to exhibit the
results of their work. Jars of preserved vegetables
from the canning classes were also exhibited. Repre-
sentatives of the Middlesex County Farm Bureau
were present and gave some interesting talks. Admis-
sion was charged, and the profits amounted to $900.
One-half of this amount was turned over to the Com-
mittee on Public Safety for the relief work among
dependents of men in the service.

CHILDREN’S GARDEN WORK

When war was declared, the School Department
officials believed that in this emergency the schools
should direct their resources into channels where they
would be most useful. As a war measure, Mr. Alfred
MacDonald, Supervisor of Nature Study, had the
regular courses in nature study in the upper grades
dropped and school gardening instruction substituted.
In grades four to eight inclusive, therefore, other na-
ture study was replaced by school gardening. This
was made possible through the support of the Food
Committee of the Newton Committee on Public Safety
and the co-operation of the City Forestry and Play-
ground departments. The Committee furnished money
for the purchase of seeds for school gardens, and as-
sumed part of the expense for summer supervision,
for which there was no school appropriation. Forest
Commissioner W. W. Colton secured an appropria-

13

tion from the city for plowing and fertilizing school
gardens, and this work was done by his department.
The Playground Commission allowed the use of play-
ground land for gardens, and part of the time of the
playground directors was given to garden supervision
during the summer.

Practical instruction in school gardening was car-
ried out by means of 91 grade gardens of about 1200
square feet each, on 18 different pieces of land. Each
grade from IV to VIII inclusive had its own garden;
the intention being to secure competition between
grades. During May and June, the average amount
of time spent by each child in the grade garden was
one hour a week.

Home Gardens and Club Gardens

Supplementing the school garden work, the Super-
visor encouraged the school children to have home
gardens, and over $200 worth of seeds were purchased
by the children through the Supervisor. The plan of
all the work was to have the children learn how to
cultivate and grow vegetables in the school gardens,
and practice in a utilitarian way in home gardens.
About 1400 home gardens were thus started under
the supervision and encouragement of the Supervisor.
Home gardening was also encouraged among the High
School children, and prizes aggregating $100, from
an anonymous donor, were distributed among children
of the Technical High School who did exceptionally
well in their home gardens.

Six club garden projects were also organized where
groups of children undertook the co-operative cultiva-
tion of pieces of land, varying in size from 500 to
35,000 square feet each.

BOYS’ CAMPS

In April the State Committee on Public Safety urged
that High School boys be mobilized to help in farm
work during the summer vacation in rural districts.

The Newton School Department co-operating with
the Food Production Committee of the Newton Com-
mittee on Public Safety organized the Newton High
School boys. The Committee on Public Safety
financed the undertaking, and the regular teachers
of the Newton High Schools supervised the work.
Boys over 16 years of age were enlisted, sworn in,
received a badge upon entering the service, and an
honorable discharge signed by the Governor at the
completion of the work. They left school the first of
June and returned the first of October. Each hoy
received as compensation a dollar a day and hoard.

One camp was located on the Dean farm in Weston,
Mass, and was under the supervision of Dr. Oscar
Martin and Mr. Lester E. Williams. The other was
on a farm owned by Miss Fannie Mason at Walpole,
N. H. and was under the supervision of Mr. Horace
Kidger. The total number of boys in the Weston
Camp was 25, and in the W alpole Camp 30. The
boys lived in tents and ate in special buildings. It
was found that one of the greatest factors in the
success of this work was the supervision, and having
popular teachers from the Newton high schools added
much to the value of the Camp to the Newton boys.

The boys did all kinds of farm work, with the ex-
ception of the operation of the different special farm

tools, mowing machines, reapers and binders. Only
in rare cases did they do any milking. They handled
teams and trucks in both districts. The boys learned
what it means to do a day’s work, what it means for
the farmer to raise food, something of the country’s
labor problem, the point of view and problems of the
farmer, and how to give unselfishly of their time and
effort.

The Newton Camps were recognized by the state
authorities as among the most successful in the state.
In both districts where the camps were established
there was a continual call for more boys.

Both camps were also operated during the season
of 1918.

FOOD CONSERVATION

A sub-committee, consisting of Miss Kenrick, Miss
Flanders and Miss Rich, organized classes in eco-
nomical cooking throughout the city. These were in
charge of an expert teacher who followed an outline
drafted by this Committee, and distributed a cook-book
which was published especially for them. Classes
were held, wherever possible, in schoolhouses or in
local centres where there was already cooking equip-
ment. In some instances it was necessary for the
Committee to furnish equipment. Classes were also
held at the various neighborhood centres. Each
course consisted of 8 lectures, 7 of which gave practical
demonstration of the cooking of economical food-
stuffs, and the 8th was a lesson in marketing in the
various cuts of meat.

The Committee also arranged for lectures on food
conservation and on economical cooking, which were
open to the general public.

CO-ORDINATION OF AID SOCIETIES

Since its inception, the Committee has felt its most
important work was to give as much personal aid
as possible to Newton men who are in the service. To
this end, the Committee provided every man whose
name came to their attention as having entered any
branch of the service, with sweaters, comfort kits,
woolen socks, helmets, and other articles of clothing.

This work has not duplicated the work of the Red
Cross, as applications for such clothing received by
the local units of the Red Cross have been turned
o\er to the Committee on Public Safety. Among the
articles made and delivered by the Co-ordination of
Aid Societies were :

980 sweaters, 1239 pair socks, 535 helmets, 826 kits,
93 pillows, 150 rifle cases. 152 pair wristers, 135 bands,
80 scarfs and 235 pair gloves.

Relief Committees

The work of the Relief Committee is to consider the
needs of the families of our soldiers and sailors. This
work was in the hands of a Committee, consisting of
Mrs. T. G. White, Mrs. Frank Day, iMr. Samuel Thur-
ber and Miss Margaret Rich.

Adequate provision has been made by the State and
Federal Government for the care of the dependents
of men in the service, but because of the large mass of
applications it has frequently taken many weeks and
sometimes several months for the allowance which is

14

made the family to reach them. It is during this period
of waiting that the Public Safety Committee found it
necessary to give financial help to 19 different families.
This has varied from a single payment of $3 to an al-
lowance of S4 or $5 a week for a period of several
months.

Other Committees

A Visiting Committee to give personal help to draft-
ed men at Ayer, and one to help men of Company C
was appointed.

While at Framingham the men of Company C were
visited two or three times a week by some member of
the Company C Visiting Committee, and extra food,
candy, and other things were taken to them. The
drafted men at Ayer were supplied with games, books,
magazines, and other articles by the Camp Devens
Visiting Committee.

The Committee on City Protection of which Mayor
Edwin O. Childs was Chairman provided for the
guarding and care of bridges and other places where
damage might be done when it was thought that this
was necessary.

TJhe Committee on Transportation, consisting of Mr.
Augustus Beatey and Mr. Wm. J. Doherty, made a
census of automobiles and motor trucks available in
emergencies. 350 automobiles were available when
needed, and the records of these machines were at the
office of the Committee at Newtonville.

The Committee on Hygiene and Sanitation of which
Dr. Francis George Curtis was Chairman, provided all
the men of Company C with medicine kits before they
left for France.

WAR TIME RESTRICTIONS

Under the Lever Food Control Act, Alfred Mc-
Donald, Secretary of the Committee on Public Safety,
was appointed Food Administrator for Newton, Miss
Jeanne Kenrick, food control and distribution, Alfred
W. Fuller, retail merchants, and Horace W. Orr, ho-
tels, clubs, restaurants and boarding houses.

Under this act, Monday and Wednesday of each
week were assigned as wheatless days with one wheat-
less meal every day. Tuesday was designated as a
meatless day each week with one meatless meal each
day and Tuesday and Saturdays were designated as
porkless days.

Hoarding of foodstuffs was prohibited and instruc-
tions were issued to use less sugar, less sweet drinks
and less candy. Stricter supervision of waste thrown
into garbage cans was advised.

Dealers in foodstuffs were required to be licensed
and unreasonable charges were prohibited.

During the sugar shortage, rations of 2 pounds per
month per person were established.

At first white flour could only be purchased in con-
nection with some substitutes, one pound of flour to
one pound of corn meal, oats, barley or rice. Later
the ratio was raised to three pounds of white flour to
one pound of substitutes.

NEWTON FUEL COMMITTEE

This committee composed of Oliver M. Fisher,
Chairman and Mr. Frank J. Hale and Mr. Andrew C.
Hughes was appointed to enforce the fuel regulations
of the country and made the following report :

“The Newton Fuel Committee was appointed to act
as a governor on the retail distribution of coal, to see
that the price that the Government established at the
mines, plus the cost of railway or ocean freight to
destination, plus the cost of handling this coal and dis-
tributing it out to the consumer, and giving to the
retailer a reasonable rate of profit, — that this price to
the consumer should be a reasonable one and that no-
where along the line dealers should ask the consumers
to pay an unreasonable price at retail for their supply of
coal in the rapidly changing prices that prevailed the
past two years.

“It also became necessary for the Fuel Committee
to stand as a guardian to the consumer and keep the
retail dealer from advancing his price until such time
as all his low-priced coal had been delivered out to con-
sumers at the lower price previously prevailing. After
this was done, and not before, the retail dealer was
entitled to charge the advanced price, which the in-
creased cost of transportation and mining made neces-
sary. In this work alone the Fuel Committee saved
the public a large amount of money, and in our own
community consumers felt a reasonable degree of se-
curity that they were not being unfairly treated in the
prices charged them for coal.

“On the other hand, the Fuel Committee served as a
court of last resort to which was referred many un-
just claims and demands on the part of unreasonable
consumers. Looking back over the period of two
years, it has seemed that the work of the Fuel Com-
mittee was almost a necessity under the war time con-
ditions. Therefore the work of this committee was
done quietly, always having in mind a due regard for
the rights of both sides, and there was little difficulty
in arranging matters fairly and to the satisfaction of
both parties. There always have been and always will
be some unreasonable people, and the fuel committee
served as a buffer against which these unreasonable
people could present their claims, and get a fair ad-
justment.

“The priority claims of hospitals and schools were
given careful attention so that the Newton Hospital
was always supplied with coal, even though deliveries
had to be made on Sunday and at other unusual times
to bring this about. It was the aim of the committee
to carry on its work quietly and fairly with all parties
in interest.

“With this idea of good government in mind, the
committee sought to work out this idea in the various
details of handling the coal in Newton during the
war period. We certainly had in mind to make the
burden as light as possible for dealers, and the coal
dealers in Newton as a whole, were perfectly fair in
their treatment of their customers, and the consum-
ers of Newton have been fairly treated during the
war period by their coal dealers, which should seem to
remind them that their dealers treated them so because
by nature they have always treated their customers
fairly, and intend to do so in the future. The consum-
ers of coal in Newton are perfectly safe in the hands
of the Newton retail coal dealers, whose facilities are
ample for taking care of the wants of the community,
providing the orders are given in season so that the
winter’s supply of coal may be put in during the warm
season. Only by so doing can the dealers perform their
duty to the community fairly and at a reasonable cost.

“The committee commends these suggestions to the
consumers in Newton, believing that if they will give

15

their retail coal dealer the fullest co-operation, there
will be no suffering in our community for lack of
coal. The conditions for the future are somewhat un-
certain ; but it is not likely that very much lower prices
for coal will prevail at present.”

The revised fuel conservation regulations for Newton
dated February 13. 1918, prohibited grocery, provisions
and drug stores from burning fuel before 7 A. M. on
any week day, all other stores before 9 A. M. Clos-
ing hours were fixed as follows, —

Grocery and provision stores at noon, Mondays,
10 P. M. on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays,
6 P. M. Wednesdays and Fridays.

Clothing, dry goods, variety, hardware, furniture
and shoe stores, tailor shops, cobblers and barber shops
close all day Monday, and at 10 P. M. Tuesdays, Thurs-
days and Saturdays, and 6 P. M. Tuesdays and Fri-
days.

Fruit, candy, cigar, news and drug stores, closed at
noon Mondays, and the same hours on other days as
outlined above.

Bowling alleys, billiard rooms, moving' picture
houses, 10.30 P. M. every day but Tuesday when they
shall be closed all day.

Clubs, lodges and other places of amusement, 10
P. M. each week day.

Window lights were prohibited except on Saturday
nights.

RECRUITING COMMITTEE

The work of the Committee can be best described by
the following reports of its sub-committees :

The first work of the Recruiting Committee was to
bring Company C, which was considered a Newton
Company, to war strength. This was accomplished
under the direction of General James G. White; and
in two weeks Company C, 5th Mass. Regiment, In-
fantry, N. G., was recruited to a strength of 150 men
with a surplus of 25 men.

The Committee on Public Safety furnished Company
C with a motor cycle, auto truck, food while at Claflin
Field, parts of uniforms, and donated $900 to the
Company fund. It was one of the best equipped Com-
panies of the National Companies when it was mus-
tered into the National service.

Company C was recruited to war strength under the
old plan of 150 men in the Company, but it was later

thought desirable to change the number of men in
companies for foreign service to 250 to conform with
the European standards. 125 men were, therefore,
taken from the local Company C and merged with a
Company of the former Ninth Regiment, but which
then became Company C, 101st Infantry. The local
Company C then lost its identity as a Newton Company.
The 101st left for France on September 7.

The Recruiting Committee co-operated with authori-
ties in Brookline in recruiting Battery F, of which Cap-
tain Sinclair Weeks, a Newton man, was first lieuten-
ant. These men were provided with sweaters, socks
and other articles by the Committee on Public Safety.

State Guard

Immediately after Company C entered the United
States service and left for France, attention was given
to the recruiting and organizing of a Company of the
State Guard to replace it. The Newton State Guard
Company was the first to be organized in the state
under the State Guard Bill. This Company was known
as Company A, 11th Regiment, Infantry, and was made
up of 78 men.

Nine men compose the Machine Gun Unit of this
Company, and a Colt machine gun with an automobile
truck for its transportation was procured for their use.

Nezvton Constabulary

There were many men who wished for some military
training and exercise, but who could not for physical
or other reasons become members of the State Guard.
They were, therefore, organized into a body known as
the Newton Constabulary, which consisted of about
1,000 men; 8 companies, 2 battalions; officered by a
Chief of Constabulary, Deputy Chief and Staff, 2 In-
spectors, 8 Captains and 16 Lieutenants, with the neces-
sary non-commissioned officers.

During the summer of 1918, members of the Con-
stabulary served as special police officers and thereby
enabled the regular force to have their usual vacations.

The influenza epidemic in the fall of 1918 also
proved an opportunity for the Constabulary to perform
worthwhile service in preparing the old Woodland park
hotel for use as a hospital and 44 assisting in its work.

The Newton Constabulary aided in procuring several
thousand dollars for special Red Cross work, and has
co-operated in Food Conservation and other work of
the Committee on Public Safety.

PREFACE

“Women cannot fight, therefore, they should not
vote.” This slogan was used with the utmost serious-
ness for many years by men and women of the highest
intelligence in their attempt to stay the progress of
time, and combat the efiforts of those who were working
to extend the suffrage to the women of the nation.
These people entirely overlooked the fact that there is
a second line of defence just as necessary as the first
line, without which no war can be waged.

To this “second line” belongs the things in which
women are preeminently fitted to take part : the nursing
of the wounded, cheering of the sick and the homesick,
the making of surgical dressings, the entertaining of
the soldiers, thus keeping up their morale, and count-
less other offices which any thoughtful person will recall
as having been performed during the World War by
the women of the different countries, irrespective of
race, color, or religion.

When the war was over, men and women alike were
ready to recognize the part played by women in the
Great War, and their political emancipation followed
as a matter of course.

The part which the women of Newton played in the
Great War was of no mean rank, and the story of it,
is a record of devoted, self-sacrificing service not to
he out-done by any other community in the country.

It is a pity that the gathering of the records could
not have been done immediately after the armistice,
while events were still fresh in mind, but, since this
was not done, the information which has been gathered

together in this record of achievement will, necessarily,
be meagre, many records having been lost or mislaid,
and some of those who were most active having passed
where none can recall.”

The above paragraphs were written by Miss Grace
M. Burt, by whom the questionnaire used in the prep-
aration of these reports was also prepared. Since then,
Miss Burt has herself passed “where none can recall.”

The present editor wishes to express her deep appre-
ciation of the work done by Miss Burt, without whose
aid it would have been impossible for her to “carry
on.”

What Miss Burt herself did in connection with the
War, and in and for the City of Newton, will never
be fully known until
“Earth’s last picture is painted” — and
“The Master of All Good Workmen shall set us to
work anew.”

The present writer would express, also, her gratitude
to those who have searched their minds, their attics,
and their garages for such information as could be
obtained, and given her the benefit of what yet
remained.

Of necessity, there will be omissions and errors, but,
every effort has been made to secure as complete a
record as possible, and it is hoped that the accompany-
ing story will prove to be, in some measure, an adequate
account of the many and varied activities of the women
of Newton as their share in the “second line of de-
fence” during the World War.

WOMEN’S CLUBS

Many of the Women’s Clubs which form at the
present time so important and influential a part in the
life of the City, were not organized at the time of the
war. Conspicuous among these, are the Newton
Community Club, and the West Newton Community
Service Club.

In the southern part of the City, two organizations
played a very vital part in the activities of the war,
namely the Women Associates of Newton Highlands,
and the Newton South Allies.

In Newton (Corner) and Newtonville the Special
Aid Societies were very active, and the various
branches of the American Fund for French Wounded
included members from all of the Newtons.

Individual members from all of the clubs of the city
cooperated with these organizations, and with the Red
Cross, which eventually took over the war work of the
city.

Catholics as well as Protestants worked in and
through all of the organizations of the war period,
individual differences being merged in the good of the
whole.

A striking example of this occurred during the
influenza epidemic of 1918, when, in twenty-four hours,
a hotel became a hospital.

Auburndale W Oman’s Club

This club was organized on May 5, 1917. Among
the various activities which the club carried on during
the period of the war, was the making of a card
catalogue of its members for war preparedness. Com-
mittees were also formed for conservation and for
surgical dressing^.

The services of the club were offered to the Red
Cross and generous contributions given to the Navy
League, Public Safety Committee, War Food Fund,
Red Cross, French Relief, etc. Liberty Bonds were
also bought.

The club adopted a French orphan, and entertained
both sailors and soldiers in the homes of members.

A bridge was given for the benefit of the surgical
dressings committee, and a melting pot for gold and
silver was carried on, the proceeds of which went for
yarn for knitting for the sailors.

A unit of 55 club members went overseas under Dr.
Balch, the money for the unit being raised largely
through the Garden City Fair, of which Mrs. Henry
A. Wentworth was in charge.

After the war, the club contributed to the Hospital
at Rheims, the Kindergarten Unit in France, and con-
tinued to support a French orphan, and to help disabled
soldiers.

A radio costing about $200 was installed in the
Essex Sanitarium, and various articles sent to the boys
at Rutland.

The Christian Era Club

The Christian Era Club showed its patriotism by the
work of its members through other organizations
during the war.

Auburndale Review Club

The Auburndale Review Club did no work during
the war as an organization, but individual members
gave two and sometimes three days a week to the Red
Cross.

Contributions were given also to the Red Cross,
Navy League Furlough House, Near East Relief, etc.

Daughters of members who served overseas were
Miss Caroline Herron and Miss Lillian Draper.

Mrs. A. C. Farley and Mrs. F. F. Davidson were
officers in the local Red Cross. Mrs. R. O. Walter
was one of the speakers for the War Camp Community
Fund.

West Newton Women’s Educational Club

This organization did not engage in war activities as
an organization, but individual members worked in the
Red Cross. Liberty Bonds to the amount of $200 were
also contributed.

This club draws from many villages in Newton, as
well as upon Wellesley, Brookline, etc. Its members
were nearly all active in their own communities.

Nezvton Mothers’ Club

There was no special war work done by the Newton
Mothers’ Club, as all of the members were members
of the Soldiers’ Aid, now the Community Service Club,
and all work was carried on in connection with that
organization.

Newton Social Science Club

Members of the Social Science Club of Newton
worked individually through the Newton Special Aid
Society and others in the community. In the spring of
1918, the club voted to give up two of their meetings
each month to enable members to give more time to
war work.

During the period of the United States’ participation
in the war, the club contributed generously to the
Children of France, Armenian and Syrian Relief, War
Camp Community Fund, and invested in Liberty
Bonds.

After the Armistice, contributions continued to be
given to the Near East Relief and other organizations
which had for their object the amelioration of the
suffering consequent upon the war.

N ezvtonville W Oman’s Club

The Newtonville Woman’s Club, one of the most
active of the women’s organizations of the city of
Newton during the war period, contributed generous-
ly to the French Relief for Wounded Soldiers, and the
Belgian Relief, even before the entrance of the United
States into the war.

After the entrance of the United States into the
war, the club continued to give, including the War
Children’s Relief Fund, the Y. M. C. A. War Fund,
the Salvation Army, the Stnileage Books, contributions
to the Furlough House, and to the United War Work,

19

Sailors’ Haven, Ex-Soldiers’ Relief Fund, etc., con-
tinuing these contributions after the Armistice.

The Y. M. C. A. hut in Newtonville, and the Hostess
House, held by courtesy of the Newton Club in the
Newton Club House, were both generously supported
by the club. Nor did the club forget its own members
who were doing such good work overseas ; contribu-
tions were sent to Miss Margaret McGill who was
sent overseas by Mt. Holyoke College, as a leader of
the International Unit of Ten (College) women, and
had charge of the Hostess House at Luxemburg, at-
tached to the 33d Division, and to Miss Louise
Sherman who went overseas under the auspices of the
Near East Relief to Syria, where she had charge of an
orphanage.

In addition, many of the club members did good
service, through the Newton Motor Corps, in trans-
porting soldiers and sailors, and many entertained
sailors and soldiers in their homes.

Members of the club cooperated with the Red Cross
— both local and Metropolitan — and with the Special
Aid Societies of both Boston and Newtonville.

The total amount of money spent by the club for
war work was $1,633.75, besides the three Liberty
Bonds, of $100 each, -purchased by the club.

Among the later activities of the club was the
giving of a play, “The 13th Star,” which was at-
tended by fifty boys from Commonwealth Pier.
The club made $300 by this play which money was
given to the Y. M. C. A. Refreshments at the play
were furnished by the Newton Constabulary.

The club also was instrumental in obtaining Rev.
Abraham Rihbany as a lecturer, and by this means
contributed a substantial amount to the European
Children’s Relief Fund.

Pierian Club

In Newton Upper Falls, the Pierian Club, pre-
decessor of the Newton Upper Falls Woman’s Club,
did splendid work during the period of the war.
Members of the club voted to deny themselves re-
freshments at the club and to give the money to
the Red Cross.

Later the club suspended its meetings, and took
up Red Cross work, knitting, surgical dressings, etc.
Soldiers and sailors were also entertained at the
homes of members.

The president of the club, Mrs. Charles Mills,
gave up three rooms in her home to the Red Cross
work for a period of three years.

After the Red Cross work was given up, Mrs.
Henry H. Fanning still continued to give out ma-
terial for knitting.

When the Upper Falls Athletic Association gave
a dance for the tobacco fund for the Newton boys,
the Pierian Club assisted ; $50 was raised in this
way.

Shakespeare Club of Newton Highlands

Members of this club, as well as members of the
Newton Centre Woman’s Club, worked during the
war period through the Woman Associates of New-
ton Highlands, as individuals, not, however, as an
organization.

Miss Dorothy Turnbull and Miss E. G. Melick,
both members of the Shakespeare Club, served as
nurses overseas during the war.

Monday Club of Newton Highlands

The Monday Club of Newton Highlands, like the
Shakespeare Club and the Newton Highlands
Woman’s Club, worked as individuals, rather than
as an organization, through the local Red Cross and
the Newton Highlands Woman’s Associates.

IVaban Woman’s Club

During the period of the war, the Waban Woman’s
Club cooperated with the War Relief Committee in
working for the Belgian Relief. Materials were sent
to Parker Memorial.

Approximately $600 was contributed previous to the
entrance of the United States into the war. These
contributions were distributed among the War Camp
Community Fund, the Y. W. C. A., French Relief,
War Victory Fund, Waban War Relief Committee,
and the Red Cross. The activities of the club included
knitting, surgical dressings, etc.

Thanksgiving Day (1918) many sailors were enter-
tained in Waban homes. In December of the same
year, warm dresses were made for the children of
France, and a play was given the proceeds of which
went towards the Society for the Fatherless Children
of France.

Among the organizations through which the mem-
bers of the club worked were the Waban War Relief
Committee, the Newton South Allies, and the Ameri-
can Fund for French Wounded.

Between April 7, 1917, and November 11, 1918,
between $3,000 and $4,000 was contributed to war
work.

In 1918, the work of the club was absorbed by the
Red Cross.

NEWTON RED CROSS

It would be much easier to list the names of the
women of Newton who rendered no service through
the American Red Cross during the War than it would
be to list the names of those who did render service.
It can be safely said that practically every woman in
Newton rendered service of some kind to the Red
Cross either through personal work or contributions
of money or materials.

Thousands of surgical dressings, hospital garments,
articles of clothing, comfort kits, and other articles
necessary for War Relief were prepared and supplied
by the women of Newton through the Newton Chapter
of the American Red Cross and the local branches.
There were many other organizations in Newton that
acted as auxiliary units for Red Cross work.

Many women of Newton served overseas as nurses,
canteen workers, and performed clerical and other
duties. Many of the women of Newton not only
worked with the local chapter but were also active in
the work of the New England Division. The women
of Newton were of great help during campaigns for the
raising of funds for the Red Cross and during Liberty
Loan drives.

It would require a volume in itself to list the names
and activities and services performed by Newton
Women, not only during the War but in carrying on
the Peace Time program of the American Red Cross.

THE SOLDIERS’ AID, WEST NEWTON

During the summer of 1916, the women of West
Newton organized themselves with the “Soldiers’ Aid”
to help in the war relief work. Meetings were held
at the Unitarian Church, West Newton, every
Wednesday morning being devoted to this work. Sur-
gical dressings and hospital garments were made and
sent to the Metropolitan Chapter of the Red Cross in
Boston, and an appeal from Capt. Cormerais for
knitted articles, books, magazines, etc., for the men of
Company C was generously responded to by the
members.

In March 1917, came the call for supplies for the
Base Hospitals. The working time was changed to one
day a week and large numbers responded to the call
for help. The West Newton Knitting Committee wTas
formed, and working in connection with the Soldiers’
Aid, sent supplies to the Red Cross Relief for French
Wounded, Charlestown Navy Yard, Italian Relief, etc.
besides complying with the home demands of the
Newton Committee of Safety.

The Junior members of these organizations also did
helpful work in making baby clothing, preparing
picture puzzles, etc.

In the Fall of 1917, the organization grew rapidly,
and two whole days and one evening weekly were
given over to the work. The attendance averaged about
two hundred a day. During the winter of 1917-1918,
there would often be as many as two hundred workers
in the Surgical Dressings Room alone, while from
seventy to eighty sewed on hospital garments etc.
When the call for the Pershing packet came, the
attendance was very large, and to West Newton was
given the privilege of assembling these dressings, sent
from all parts of Newton, and of forwarding the
finished packet to the New England Division. At one
time over four hundred assembled to finish some im-
portant dressings which were urgently needed. The
beautiful spirit in which the work was accomplished
was an inspiration to all wTho attended. The use of
the Parish Houses of the Unitarian and Congregational
Churches was given free of expense. Class rooms
were turned into Supply Rooms, and the Ladies’
Parlors were fitted up with many machines where the
sewing was done, while the large auditoriums furnished
plenty of space for the surgical dressings workers.

Everything was done to equip the rooms for efficient
work. Electric motors were attached to the sewing
machines, and electric cutting machines did effective
work in the surgical dressing rooms. Large electric
fans did much to reduce the heat of summer days,
while large electric lights were installed to furnish ex-
tra light for dark days and evenings.

All of the packing cases used for the supplies were
contributed by a West Newton manufacturer, and many
smaller gifts were received and much appreciated.

At noon, a light luncheon was served in order to
make it possible for people to work all day. Many of
the women expressed the feeling of help and comfort
the church buildings themselves gave to them. Thurs-
day evening workers were much appreciated, many of
these coming after a long day in school or office. In-
deed, the mingling of people from all walks of life
with one great common interest, was one of the best
things which was accomplished, and had a splendid
effect upon the community.

Some idea of the scope of the work of the organiza-

tion may be gained by the following statements : To the
American Red Cross; 392,107 surgical dressings,
10,654 garments and handkerchiefs; Fund for French
Wounded, 138,668 surgical dressings, 3,642 garments
etc.; Italian War Relief, 41,000 surgical dressings,
3,300 garments; Base Hospital at Camp Devens, 12
boxes old linen, 5 boxes Christmas goods, 90 comfort
pillows, 720 handkerchiefs; Hospital at Grenoble,
France, 8,649 dressings, 225 handkerchiefs; Company
C; sweaters, socks, abdominal bands, rifle cases, army
kits, and comfort bags ; Emergency Hospital, 30 pil-
lows, 264 handkerchiefs, 16,000 dressings.

Much valuable service was given by the members
during the Influenza Epidemic, many acting as nurses,
taking charge of linen etc.

The following members served Overseas : Miss
Adele Fairbrother, Miss Alice Wing, and Miss Irene
Norman.

The financial needs of the West Newton War Work,
were, at first supplied by contributions from the women,
but, as the work grew heavier, they had little time for
the raising of money, so the men of West Newton
relieved them of this burden, and furnished money for
every need. West Newton people paid for all materials
used by the organization during the War, and generous
sums of money were contributed by individuals for the
various needs of the War.

During the War the officers of the Soldiers’ Aid
were: Honorary President, Mrs. John W. Weeks;
President, Mrs. Arthur G. Hosmer ; Vice-President,
Mrs. Ellery Peabody and Mrs. Joseph Lovell; Treas-
urur, Mrs. Sidney B. Thomas ; Secretary, Miss Edith
B. Wadsworth; Director of Sewing, Mrs. Alvah J.
Steadman, Director of Surgical Dressings, Mrs. Irving
J. Fisher; Director of Cutting, Mrs. Fred S. Sawyer;
Director of Packing, Miss Edith B. Wadsworth.

Too much credit cannot be given these women for the
noble part they played during this critical period.

On August. 1st, 1918, the Soldiers’ Aid became an
auxiliary of the Newton Branch of the Red Cross, and
on November 22, 1919 it became a branch of the
Newton Chapter of the American Red Cross.

In all “drives” connected with the War, West
Newton always stood among the first in generous giving
and in faithful workers. Much inspiration for the
work was gained from the monthly meetings of the
Newton Chapter of the Red Cross which was held in
the Talbot House, and in which the many problems of
the day were discussed.

The War brought many a heartache to Newton
citizens, but it also brought to them a warm comrade-
ship, and revealed a beautiful spirit of helpfulness
which has left its impress upon the city.

In March, 1918, the Officers of the Soldiers’ Aid
Red Cross, and Knitting Committee who had served up
to that time, resigned, and new officers were appointed,
and the work was carried on until May 28, when the
work rooms were closed for the summer.

WEST NEWTON KNITTING COMMITTEE

On March 31, 1917, Mrs. John W. Weeks of West
New’ton, invited friends and neighbors to her home to
hear Mrs. Gardner Hall tell of the work of the Navy
League of the United States and the need for knitted
articles. The gathering was so impressed and enthused
by what Mrs. Hall said that yarn was at once given
out and the knitting commenced.

21

Later, in response to many requests, it was decided
to knit for soldiers as well as sailors and the committee
was organized under the name of “The West Newton
Knitting Committee.” Its members were Mrs. John
W. Weeks, chairman, Mrs. Thomas A. Crimmins, Mrs.
Lewis A. Kimberly, Mrs. Henry Whitmore, and Mrs.
William A. Young, the latter Secretary and Treasurer.

The greater part of the work was sent through the
Navv Yard at Charlestown, Mass. Besides the Navy
work, sweaters were sent to Major General George
Barnet at Washington, for the first detachment of
Marines to go Overseas. Three destroyers were fitted
out, “The Kimberly,” the “Jarvis” and the “Evans,”
and the “Little” partly fitted out. Also articles were
sent to the repair ship, “Meville.”

These outfits consisted of a sweater, scarf, helmet,
one pair of mittens, and two pairs of socks. Articles
were also forwarded to the following: Newton Chapter
of the Red Cross; Newton boys through the Committee
of Safety, aviator outfits. Special Aid Society, Seamen’s
Friend Society, and the Committee for French
Wounded, Devastated France, and to the Belgian and
Serbian Reliefs.

The total number of articles distributed by the
committee, beginning in April, 1917, was 19,179.
These articles included sweaters, helmets, scarfs,
wristers, mittens, socks, caps, aviator caps, bands,
nurses’ sweaters, and Christmas cheer bags, also hoods,
jackets, Woman’s sweaters, socks, and shawls for the
refugee women and children. The money was raised
wholly by voluntary subscriptions.

NEWTON SOUTH ALLIES RELIEF
ASSOCIATION

Previous to the entrance of the United States into
the world war, and throughout the war, there were
many organizations in Newton which did splendid
work for the cause of the allies.

Among these was the Newton South Allies Relief
Association which was organized on Nov. 5, 1915, at
the home of Mrs. Henry E. Williams, 7 Norman Road,
Newton Highlands.

Interest grew so rapidly that the Parish House of
Trinity Church, Newton Centre, was made the head-
quarters for the next three and one half years.

The society was considered one of the activities of
Trinity Church which cooperated most generously in
the use of gas, electricity, etc. The organization was
an independent one sending goods wherever the need
was greatest.

In January, 1918, the organization became an official
branch of the American Fund for French Wounded,
but still retained the privilege of sending goods — with
the exception of surgical dressings — wherever it pleased.

Mrs. George M. Stuart of Newton Highlands
served as President until her death in 1922. Mrs. A.
Perley Underhill of Newton Centre was then elected
President. The vice President is Mrs. Seward W.
[ones of New'ton Highlands, the secretary, Mrs. Henry
E. Williams of Newton Highlands, and the treasurer,
Mrs. Henry J. Ide of Newton Centre. The last three
have served since Nov. 1, 1915.

During the war, the secretary, in addition to her
regular duties, had charge of the listing, packing, and
transportation of goods, and in her own home, looked
after the refugee clothing. Mrs. George H. Mellen

did exceptionally good work as purchasing agent for
two and one half years, during which time the work
was under the direction of Mrs. George A. Pierce of
Newton Centre.

Goods were sent to the following places : American
Fund for French Wounded, Derbyshire Yeomanry in
the Dardanelles, Lancashire Territorials in Serbia, Miss
Julia Colby’s Hospital in Paris, Mr. Leonard Hawkes-
ley’s Hospital in Rome, Rev. Gabriel Evans in Ver-
sailles, Mile. Gullier’s Hospital in Paris, Haviland Hos-
pital in Limoges, Miss Thompson’s Hospital in Paris,
Salonica, Dr. Blake’s Hospital in Neuilly, the French
Y. M. C. A., the Twenty-Sixth Division in France,
American, British, and French Red Cross, Italy,
Belgium, Serbia, Halifax, Navy League, Camp Devens,
Base Hospital No 10, Commonwealth Pier, Dr. James
Barton (Armenia), Woman’s Seaman’s Friend Society.

In all over $27,995. was expended by this organiza-
tion during the war. Since April 1919, the organization
has raised and given away about $600 to the Temporary
Hospital in Paris, and to one of their own boys who
was badly in need of help.

Miss Virginia Parker, a member of the organization
worked in Paris with the American Fund for French
Wounded.

NEWTON GIRL SCOUTS

The record of the Newton Local Council of Girl
Scouts during the war is one to be proud of. Among
the various activities in which the members engaged
were the planting of war gardens, one in Newton and
one in Newton Centre, the products of which were
sold and the money given to French orphans. During
the summer of 1918, the Scouts had three war gardens.
These gardens were planted, and tended by the girls,
and, as during the preceding summer, the proceeds
went to the support of French orphans. The troops
in charge of these gardens were Troop 2 (Newton),
Troop 3 (Newton Centre), and Troop 5 (West New-
ton).

In Newton, the troop cooperated with the Red Cross
organization of the town helping in every way possible.

In West Newton, the Troop cooperated with the
Soldiers Aid Society (later the Red Cross).

A war Service Award was given by the National
Organization to the girl scouts who did a certain
number of hours of war work. The work included
knitting, supervised service in the Red Cross, local
gardening, food conservation, thrift — war saving
stamps, — care of young children Americanization
work etc. Additional awards were given for other
points. These took the form of red, blue, and silver
ribbons. Over sixty girls were given war service
awards, many of them also earning the red, blue, and
silver ribbons.

One hundred and twenty girl scouts were Victory
Girls. To he a “Victory Girl” one had to pledge
herself to earn and give five dollars toward the great
work of bringing home into the trenches.

Four of the Troops supported French orphans for a
number of years.

The following members of the Girl Scouts were
overseas: Miss Susan B. Hills, and Miss Helen Chapin,
both of Newton Centre, and Miss Evelyn Cunningham,
Captain of the Newton Group.

22

THE HOSPITAL AID ASSOCIATION

The work of the Hospital Aid Association during
the war was confined to helping the hospital. The
Emergency Hospital was in charge of the Motor Corps
of the Red Cross. Mrs. George Talbot was Captain
of the motor corps. Dr. Talbot offered his house on
Walnut Street at this time for the use of the Newton
Branch of the Red Cross.

THE NEWTON WELFARE BUREAU

The Newton Welfare Bureau during the War carried
on work for men in the service and their families under
the Public Safety Committee. Miss Margaret E. Rich,
General Secretary, served as Secretary of the Food
Conservation Committee. She also went to France
under the auspices of the Red Cross.

NEWTON FRENCH RELIEF

In August, 1914, at the suggestion of Mrs. Frank
Edwards, a group of women were called together at
Grace Church, Newton, to consider doing something
to help the Belgian refugees. This work continued
through the winter of 1914-1915.

In the fall of 1915, a meeting was called to form an
association to work for the relief of the wounded
soldiers in the hospitals of France. The organization
was called the Newton French Relief Association.
From October 1915 to June 1916, this organization
met every Thursday morning in Grace Church.

At first, the shipping was made directly to individual
hospitals, but later, supplies were shipped to Mrs.
Blair Fairchild, a Boston woman living in Paris who
gave her entire time looking after the needs of the
small hospitals.

Resuming in October, 1916, the association met
continuously every Thursday until July 1918, when
Tuesday meetings were also instituted. These meetings
continued until the fall of 1918 when the workrooms
were closed during the influenza epidemic. Their
organization still has money in the treasury to be used
in time of need.

A slight idea of the amount accomplished by this
group of women may be gleaned from a few items
from their records. During the year, 1915-1916, 35
cases and sacks were sent across. In 1917-1918, the
total number of articles reached 114,666. From August
1918 to January 1, 1919, 52,308 surgical dressings
were made, and from that time to April 1st, the entire
output was 841 articles, including children’s gowns,
baby jackets, bootees, women’s nightgowns, knitted
sweaters, socks, stockings and the like.

In the winter of 1918 owing to the difficulty of
getting things shipped the Newton French Relief
decided to become a branch of the American Fund for
the French Wounded, and thereafter their output went
through that auspices. Owing to the coal shortage as
a conservation measure the work rooms were moved
from Grace Church to the Y. M. C. A. Building where
the other organizations were also meeting.

The work was financed through generous contribu-
tions from interested individuals and from an
occasional lecture or talk by someone from overseas.
The society expended from October 1917 to May 1920
$5324.92, and raised as its contribution for Newton

beds in the American Hospital at Rheims more than
$4,000.

NEWTON IN THE INFLUENZA EPIDEMIC

No account of the work of the women of Newton
during the war would be complete without an account
of the splendid part played by them during the in-
fluenza epidemic of the war (1918).

Under the able management of a committee com-
posed of Mrs. Henry H. Kendall, Mrs. George M.
Angier, Mrs. Morton E. Cobb, and Mr. James G.
White, the Woodland Park Hotel in Auburndale was
turned, within 48 hours, into a place of refuge for
those afflicted with the disease.

Mrs. Ellery Peabody of West Newton was in charge
of the linen, Mrs. Wilson of Newtonville was in charge
of the hospital. The Newton Hospital sent surgical
equipment. Many of the nurses were volunteers.
Linen was collected from all parts of Newton, the
response to the need being immediate and most
generous.

The Newton constabulary kept guard on the grounds.
Many citizens gave the use of their automobiles, and
came themselves to do what they could.

Never has a city responded so loyally to a need
within its gates. All honor to the noble men and
women who gave of their money, their goods, and
themselves in the hour of need.

THE AUXILIARY OF THE 101st REGIMENT

The auxiliary of the 101st Regiment, U. S. Field
Artillery, was one of the active organizations during
the war. Special relief work was done at the mobiliza-
tion camp at Boxford, Mass, from July until September
1917.

Intense interest was shown when the men were in
France, and many hundreds of dollars contributed by
Newton people for the men. Christmas, 1917, a special
Christmas box was sent by the auxiliary to the men.
Knitting and other needs of the regiment were
constantly met.

The 101st regiment went to France in 1917 and
remained during the winters of 1918-1919. Everything
possible for their comfort was sent over to them.
Many members of the auxiliary also went overseas.
Among those whom the auxiliary remembers with
special gratitude was Mrs. John Lowell of Chestnut
Plill for whom no tribute is too high.

In the loan parade of the Fall of 1917, many
Newton women marched under the banner of the
auxiliary behind a float from Newton. Children of
the men at the front also marched with the slogan,
“Help Our Fathers at the Front.”

When the men returned home in 1919, a formal
reception was given them by the Newton people, the
committee in charge being appointed by Mayor Childs.
Mrs. Lillian Stuart Clancy represented the auxiliary
on that occasion.

SPECIAL AID SOCIETY OF NEWTON

One of the eighty-five branches of the Special Aid
Society was formed in Newton immediately on the
entrance of the United States into the war. Although
the formal organization did not take place until May

23

30, 1917, active work was begun early in April, when
at a week’s notice 25 each of sweaters, socks and
comfort hags were made and turned over to the Newton
Public Safety Committee for the use of Company C,
5th Regiment. During the months of April and May
over 1400 articles were made and delivered, most of
them for the enlisted men of the Navy, and for the
Naval and Marine hospitals at Chelsea. The Newton
Branch continued its activities for three years, until
April 29. 1920.

The officers were : President, Mrs. H. H. Powers ;
Secretary, Mrs. George Owen, Treasurer, Miss Maud
B. Henry.

Mrs. Powers was succeeded by Mrs. Sterling Elliott,
followed in 1919-20 by Miss Georgia H. Emery, who
carried the responsibility of all the society’s activities
for the last six months of its existence. Mrs. Owen
was succeeded by Miss Miriam Drury.

The Committee Chairmen were : Finance, Mrs. F. E.
Stanley; Publicity, Mrs. L. D. Gibbs; Work, Mrs.
Edward M. Moore; Canteen, Mrs. Frederick White;
Hospitality, Mrs. William E. Jones.

The Directors were : Mrs. Samuel W. Bridges, Mrs.
Harry E, Damon, Mrs. Frank A. Day, Mrs. L. S.
Drake, Mrs. C. S. Ensign, Mrs. Frederick J. Fawcett,
Mrs. Alfred W. Fuller, Mrs. Welles Holmes, Miss
Elsie Horsfall, Miss Martha Lathe, Mrs. Henry A.
Neallev, Miss Mabel Riley, Mrs. Franklin E. Smith,
Mrs. Vernon B. Swett.

The total amount disbursed by the Society, from
April 7, 1917 until the books were closed June 6, 1921
was $20672.57,-$10196.07 to Armistice Day, Nov. 11,
1918, and the balance in post-war activities. A sub-
stantial part of this sum was raised by the Finance
Committee, some came from entertainments, sale of
wool and so forth, but, especially during the first weeks
financing the work was made possible by the generosity
of one or two devoted members of the board of
directors.

The Society sponsored two entertainments and
dances given by a group of naval reserves from
Bumpkin Island. Through its interest in Ft., After-
ward Commander Bruce R. Ware, the Society
“adopted" the crew of the transport, Agamemnon,
sending them special knitted articles, and establishing
personal correspondence with many members of the
crew. For Christmas, 1917, Mrs. Day packed and
sent from her house a box of 500 Christmas gifts
contributed by members of the Society for the deck
force of the ship, and a box of “smokes” for the men
below decks. Another box was sent in 1918. In the
Spring of 1919 when the “Aggy” put into Boston a
suppe*- was given for the men at Channing Church,
followed by a dance at the Hunnewell Club.

The Canteen Committee, at the ten-day Food
Conservation Exposition in Horticultural Hall, April,
1918. handled the luncheon for one of the days,
receiving special commendation for its excellent and
economical menu. It conducted demonstration classes
at Stearns School Centre, held a “Food Facts Centre”
at Newton Corner, distributing recipes and giving
demonstrations, conducted two demonstration lectures,
at the Hunnewell Club and at the Y. M. C. A., put up
and sold a large quantity of canned goods in the
Summer of 1918, and gave substantial aid to the
Public Safety Committee during the influenza epidemic
of the following Fall.

The Work Committee met daily. Until February

1918, the meetings were held in Channing Church
parlors, when with the other war relief organizations
of the village it moved to the Y. M. C. A. Building.
This committee made and distributed 25000 articles
during the three years, serving, besides Special Aid
Headquarters and local societies, the Navy League,
the Red Cross, the Woman’s Seaman’s Friend Society,
the American Fund for French Wounded, the Ameri-
can Committee for Devastated France, the Coast Artil-
lery Auxiliary, the Italian War Relief, and Serbian and
Polish Relief, as well as many individual cases. In
1919-20 it contributed second hand clothing and bolts
of new material to European relief organizations. It
planned and wrote directions for a special “Aviator’s
Outfit” which was widely distributed through Special
Aid Headquarters. It also designed and printed
directions for a gauntlet glove, used in the Navy. A
list of the women who gave untiring and cheerful
service to this branch of the work would be quite too
long for the scope of this report, but their whole-
souled devotion made one of the bright spots of those
strained and anxious years.

THE WOMEN ASSOCIATES OF NEWTON
HIGHLANDS

The Women Associates of Newton Highlands was
organized in April 1917 at Trinity Church, Newton
Centre. It was financed by a Committee of Safety.

Mrs. Morton E. Cobb was the first chairman of the
organization. The association met at the Sacred
Heart Club House until August, 1917. Members of
the Oak Hill District as well as those from Newton
Centre and Newton Highlands belonged to the
organization.

Sewing, surgical dressings, etc. was done for the
Metropolitan Chapter of the Red Cross, and for the
Committee of Public Safety.

Just before the Armistice, a committee had collected
in money and pledges $10,000 for the work of the
association for the next year.

A very large amount of sewing, knitting, and surgical
dressings was made by the society, and after the
Armistice, much was done for the refugees. The spirit
and devotion of the whole village was remarkable. In
all of the activities, lawn festivals, dances concerts, and
lectures for raising money, the men of the community
cooperated most heartily.

Members of this association who served overseas
during the war were Miss Dorothy F. Turnbull and
Miss E. Gertrude Melick. Those who served at Camp
Devens were Miss Honora M. Hurley, Miss Hughjean
McAfee, Miss Susan W. Hills, and Miss Marion D.
Hills.

In February, 1919 the association joined the local
Red Cross and worked through them.

THE NEWTONVILLE SPECIAL AID
ASSOCIATION

The Newtonville Special Aid Society was at
first called the “Special Aid Society,” then the Red
Cross Special Aid,” and finally, the “Red Cross Branch
of the Special Aid Society.” The Red Cross and the
Special Aid finances were, however, kept separately.

Before April 7, 1917, the work was done by churches,
individuals, and in one case, through a social club which
became a hard-working club.

24

The work of the organization included sewing,
surgical dressings, entertaining of soldiers and sailors,
all done in a wholehearted way.

Among the various objects to which the organization
contributed were layettes for French babies, Near
East Relief, Tuberculosis Stamps, and the American
Hospital at Rheims.

From April 7, 1917 to Nov. 11, 1918, over $18,000
passed through the society’s hands. In January, 1918,
a canvass for funds was made in Newtonville, and the
response was so generous that $1,350 was put at the
disposal of the society monthly.

Responsibility rested upon Mrs. Wallace C. Boyden,
Miss Anna J. McDonald, Mrs. W. H. Lucas, Mrs.
William H. Allen, Mrs. James L. Richards, Mrs.
George Malcolm, and Mrs. Henry V. Jones.

Many of the society’s members were actively engaged
in war work overseas. Among these were Miss Louise
R. Sherman, Miss Margaret McGill, Miss Cornelia
Taylor, Miss Margaret Rich, and Miss Sophia Smith.

On this side, the following members were actively
engaged in war work. Mrs. George H. Wilkins, Miss
Carrie Williams, Miss Kathleen Jones, Miss Alice
Boyden, and Miss Isabella W. Puffer.

AUBURNDALE BRANCH OF THE AMERICAN
FUND FOR FRENCH WOUNDED

The Auburndale Branch of the American Fund for
French Wounded was started in Auburndale in 1916
by Miss Florence E. Tower, and Miss Mabel T. Eager.

This organization worked on surgical supplies and
hospital garments. The society was financed by private
contributions until the War Relief Fund was started,
when the organization was practically financed by the
Community Fund raised in Auburndale. A Buick
automobile was also sent to France to aid in the dis-
tributing of supplies.

The different branches of the American Fund for
French Wounded in the Newtons raised $14,500 to
endow two beds and furnish a room in the American
Memorial Hospital for children at Rheims.

The interest in this hospital has continued since the
war, members contributing to it every year since the
war closed.

LUCY JACKSON CHAPTER OF THE D. A. R.

The Lucy Jackson Chapter of the D. A. R. was
exceedingly active during the period of the war in
knitting articles for the soldiers. All members worked
with the local Red Cross, with the churches, the
American Fund for French Wounded, the Special Aid
Society, the Navy League and the Christian Science
Relief work. Three members of this society, Miss Isa-

contributed generously to the State D. ;>R., the Red
Cross, the French Relief, and Special Aid Societies,
sewing for the latter organization regularly.

Miss Anna Whiting, a charter member, opened her

home for Red Cross work. Much knitting was done
for the “boys” and kit bags etc. fitted out.

The organization has always made the hospitals
around Boston viz : the West Roxbury Hospital, the
East Norfolk Hospital, and the Franklin Hospital,
their special care, supplying these hospitals with books
and magazines, food etc., and visiting them in person.
Nor did this work end with the war.

WEST NEWTON W. C. T. U.

Members of the West Newton W. C. T. U. during
the war made surgical dressings and entertained sailors
and gave many contributions largely through the Red
Cross and local women’s clubs.

MOTHERS’ REST ASSOCIATION

Among the many organizations which contributed to
the welfare of the soldiers and sailors during the war,
was the Mothers’ Rest Association which gave two
weeks’ rest free of expense to many wives and children
of soldiers. Many soldiers’ families were also enter-
tained at the home.

THE WOMAN’S AUXILIARY OF THE
NEWTON Y. M. C. A.

The Woman’s Auxiliary of the Newton Y. M. C. A.
during the war gave generously to the War Relief
Fund, and did knitting for the soldiers at Camp Devens.
Many of the members were among those who enter-
tained at the “Hostess House” for soldiers quartered
on Claflin field, and in the Newton Club House which
was given by the club for the occasion. Fifty hostesses
from the different Newtons entertained. Many friends
of soldiers came and were very grateful for the
hospitality.

Many of the members of the Woman’s Auxiliary
worked with the Special Aid Society, the French Relief,
and the local Red Cross.

After the war work was moved into the Y. M. C. A.
building all activities were carried on there.

THE NEWTON CIRCLE

WORK OF THE CHURCHES OF NEWTON

The city of Newton has long been famous for its
churches, of which there are forty-two in the eight
villages, representing all denominations, both Protest-
ant and Catholic.

The women of these churches took prominent parts
in and through the various organizations of the city.
None of the churches were organized for war work as
churches.

Among the organizations within the churches from
which reports of the war work of the women have
been received are the following :

The Stcbbins Alliance of the Unitarian Church ,
Newton Centre

Members of this association worked with (1) The
Newton South Allies, (2) Women Associates, (3) Red
Cross.

Oak Hill Union Evangelical Church

The Woman’s Aid Society of this church worked
with the Red Cross. They met once a week to knit for
the soldiers, also taking work home. Through Mrs.
Robert Gould Shaw 2d, whist parties, food sales,
pageants, and other entertainments brought in sums of
money which were devoted to the war.

First Baptist Church, Newton Centre

The Woman’s Union of the First Baptist Church,
Newton Centre, was one of the organizations whose
members did much of real service during the war.
This was done, however, as individuals, not as an
organization.

One member of this organization was the chief
organizer and president of the Newton South Allies
Relief Association, an organization which did splendid
work all through the war period. Many members also
worked through the local Red Cross, of which one
member was a director.

Miss Anna Young, a member of the Woman’s Union
of the First Baptist Church, was a, member of the
Wellesley College Unit for Social Service which served
overseas, and Miss Carolyn Spence, another member,
was a reconstruction aid in the government hospital at
Colonia, New Jersey.

The First Church (Newton Centre) Congregational

Members of the Woman’s Benevolent Society of this
church worked for the war through (1) The Newton
South Allies, (2) local Red Cross.

The following from this church did special war
work :

Miss Maude Barton — Red Cross Nursing and Relief
Work.

Miss Mabel Noyes — Red Cross Nursing and Relief
Work.

Miss Helen Chapin — Originated the Patriotic War
Work at Kalamazoo, Michigan, and was, later, with
the U. S. Army Medical Corps.

Miss Marjorie Taylor — Engaged in occupational ther-
apy among the sailors in the Boston hospitals, and
from November 13, 1918 — June, 1921, with the
U. S. Army Medical Corps.

Church of the Good Shepherd, Waban

During the World War, the Women’s Guild of the
Church of the Good Shepherd, Waban, held many
meetings for war work, and cooperated with the
Waban Woman’s Club and with Union Church (Wa-
ban). As a result many garments, sponges, rollers,
pads, surgical dressings etc., were made, also comfort
bags for Company C of Newton. Various sums of
money were given to the Red Cross and other relief
organizations.

Union Church, Waban

The Ladies’ Circle of Union Church, Waban, re-
ports contributions made to the Newton South Allies,
Red Cross, and Belgian Relief. The Waban Branch
of the Red Cross met at Union Church. Among the
various activities listed by the organization are “smil-
eage books” bought by members, Christmas and com-
fort bags for the soldiers, the collecting of books and
magazines for camp, entertaining of soldiers and sailors
in the homes of the members, the presenting of a ser-
vice flag to the church, besides contributions of money.

Congregational Church, Newton Highlands

From the Woman’s Church Aid and Missionary
Society of the Congregational Church, Newton High-
lands, comes the statement that the members of this
society worked through the Woman’s Associates and
the Red Cross. The women from all the churches in
Newton Highlands assembled at the school house and
worked together all during the war.

St. Paul's Church, Newton Highlands

The following report of war activities comes from
St. Paul’s Church, Newton Highlands:

“During the war, more than 1200 men from the
Navy were entertained in Newton Highlands. Most
of these came on Saturday afternoon and remained
until Sunday evening. On Saturday evening a party
or dance was arranged, the girls from the community
coming in to help entertain the men. Many of the
parties were held in the homes, but as the number of
men increased, a larger room was needed. The vestry
of St. Paul’s Church offered the Parish House for
these occasions.

“Ten dances and one evening of dramatics were
given in the Parish House. The men came from thirty
different ships, and from thirty-eight states and Alaska.

“At the request of Chaplain Mitchell of the U. S. S.
Florida, four parties were arranged for the Midship-
men from this ship. The Midshipmen came with
Lieutenant Com. Meclewski, their commanding officer,
who was so grateful for the attention shown the men
that he allowed them to give a dance for the young
ladies of St. Paul’s Church. This was also given in
the Parish House of St. Paul's Church which was
beautifully decorated for the occasion.

“The influence of St. Paul’s Church during the war
was very great. Many of the men who had not been
inside of a church for years attended services. Many
asked, during the dances, if they might see the church.

“The Committee for ‘Home Hospitality’ was made

27

up of Congregationalists, Episcopalians, Christian
Scientists, and Roman Catholics, all of whom came to
St. Paul’s Parish House.”

Universalist Church, N ewtonville

The Special Aid Society of the Universalist Church,
Newtonville, was organized in March, 1917. This
society made garments during the war for the soldiers
and sailors besides surgical dressings, and entertained
both soldiers and sailors. Several teachers in the pub-
lic schools who were members of the society did work
for the government at Washington.

First Church of Christ, Scientist

The Christian Science Church sent members of its
church to Camp Devens during the war to entertain
the returned soldiers. Miss Lena Hall had charge of
the work, which was greatly appreciated by the
authorities at Camp Devens. A unit from this church
also met weekly for the purpose of making clothing
to send overseas.

Church of the New Jerusalem, Newtonville

Though a small body, the Women’s League of the
Church of the New Jerusalem, Newtonville, wras very
active during the war in the Red Cross and Special
Aid Societies. They also cooperated writh the Massa-
chusetts Alliance of New Church Women. This so-
ciety sewed and otherwise helped a French family in
this country whose father was killed during the war.
All-dav sewing meetings were also held — except on the
first Thursday of the month — on Thursdays from
January, 1915, to March, 1918. Other activities re-
corded are toys sent to English children at Christmas,
clothing sent to the War Relief workers in England,
money contributions for the Belgian Relief Fund, etc.

Soldiers and sailors were entertained in homes of
members, books collected and sent to soldiers in camp.
Two Special Aid Units working with the Newtonville
Woman’s Club for the French War Relief, were given
the use of the New Church Parlors, sewing machines,
etc.

St. John's Church, Newtonville

The Woman’s Guild of St. John’s Church, Newton-
ville, reports that surgical dressings and bandages
were made by them in cooperation with the local Red
Cross. Several hundred dollars worth of yarn was
donated by one member and made into garments.

Central Church, N ewtonville

Another active church organization was the Woman’s
Association of Central Church, Newtonville. Members
of this organization worked with the Special Aid
Society, the Seamen’s Friend Society, and the local
Red Cross. Many contributions were sent to the near
East Relief and the starving children of Europe.

Nine members of this association were engaged in
special forms of war work : Miss Louise Sherman,
Near East Relief; Miss Cornelia Taylor, Y. M. C. A.;
Miss Evelyn Stewart, Y. M. C. A.; Miss Margaret
McGill, Intercollegiate College; Mrs. George Wilkins,
Camp Devens; Miss Isabelle Puffer, Occupational

Methodist Episcopal Church, New’tonville

In the Newtonville Methodist Episcopal Church, two
groups met with the Special Aid Society and sewed
completing several hundred garments, and a special
group of ladies from the church formed the “Knitting
League” of the Newtonville Methodist Episcopal
Church. This League knitted yarn costing over $1000
and distributed 636 garments before the end of the
War. After the War, the knitting was continued, the
articles mades being given to the Life Saving Stations,
Soldiers’, Hospitals, etc. until a total of 908 garments
was distributed. Members also worked with the local
Red Cross.

Grace Episcopal Church

A report from the Grace Church, shows that at the
first meeting of the Woman’s Auxiliary of this church
in 1914, they voted to work for the Belgian sufferers
and families of British soldiers and sailors. All
through the War, this organization held meetings in
Grace Church Parish House, They also cooperated
with the Red Cross, French Relief, etc.

Grace Church opened its Parish House for the work
of the American Fund for French Wounded, giving
the use of its workrooms, and equipment until the
coal shortage caused the removal of the workroom to
the Y. M. C. A. Building in Newton.

The Junior Auxiliary of Grace Church during the
World War made thousands of compresses, buying the
material and presenting the compresses to the American
Fund for French wounded. They contributed, also, to
this Fund, and supported the Red Cross by subscrip-
tions.

The following members of the Grace Church did
special war work :

Miss Gertrude Holmes,
Miss Theodora McNeil,
Miss Mildred Springer,

had charge of an orphanage of 40 children in Serbia.

North Congregational Church, Newton

The Ladies’ Benevolent Society of the North
Congregational Church, Newton, worked through the
Newton Special Aid Society and the Newton and
Newtonville Red Cross. They also held all-day sewing
meetings and did much knitting for both soldiers and
sailors.

Miss Minnie Weldon and Miss Edith Rae from this
organization did special work, the former overseas
under the Y. M. C. A., and the latter in the Merchant
Marine in East Boston.

Immanuel Baptist Church , Newton

From the Women’s Association of the Immanuel
Baptist Church, Newton, reports show that this associ-
ation cooperated with the Special Aid Society of
Newton one afternoon each week, meeting at Channing
Church and, later, in the Y. M. C. A. Building.

28

This association purchased a Liberty Bond of $450 in
1917, and its members made surgical dressings and
bandages. They also cooperated with the French Relief
and Red Cross Societies. Many articles of warm cloth-
ing as well as money were sent by them to Central
Europe and Russia.

Five members of this association did special war
work: Miss Annette Munro and Miss Edith Jordan,
Red Cross Nurses, Overseas; Mrs. H. R. Chamberlin,
Head Hostess at the Y. M. C. A. at Camp Merritt,
New Jersey; Mrs. Chester L. Cotton and Mrs. Emus
Hiltz in canteen work in Boston.

Charming Church, Newton

Channing Unitarian Church, Newton, through its
Alliance actively supported the Newton Branch of the
Surgical Dressings Society, the Red Cross and Special
Aid Societies of Newton. This church opened its
parish house for the use of the Red Cross and Special
Aid Societies from April, 1917, until all Relief So-
cieties of Newton Corner were removed to the Y. M.
C. A. Building in Newton. In the Surgical Dressings
Society, Miss Georgia Emery was chairman, Mrs.
Charles B. Beasom and Mrs. Frederick W. Stone,
active members.

Mrs. Samuel L. Powers was the first chairman of
the local Red Cross Branch, and Mrs. Sterling Elliott,
Mrs. Edward M. Moore, and Miss Maude B. Henry
were all instrumental in the forming of the local Special
Aid Society. In this society, Mrs. Elliott was the
second chairman, Miss Emery, the third chairman, and
Miss Maude Henry, the treasurer. Mrs. Moore was
chairman of the workroom from April, 1917, until
October, 1919. Miss Emery was in charge during the
last six months of the society’s existence.

Miss Dorothy Emmons of Channing Church was

engaged in reconstruction work at Mattapan for the
two years following the Armistice. Miss Carolyn
Clark also did hospital work.

Auburndale Congregational Church

Members of the Ladies’ Benevolent Society of the
Auburndale Congregational Church worked through,
the Navy League, Fund for French Wounded,
Woman’s Seamens Friend Society, and the local Red
Cross. Before the organization of the latter, some of
the members contributed bolts of cloth which were
made up into garments. Many hours were devoted
weekly to sewing, knitting, and surgical dressings.

Mrs. F. F. Davidson was President of the Junior
Red Cross, and Miss Helen W. Balch, chairman of the
sewing. Daughters of members who served overseas
were: Miss Caroline Herron, Miss Lillian Draper,
Miss Mary Thomas, and Miss Dorothy Weeks. Miss
Anne Dennett was a nurse at Camp Devens.

Church of the Messiah, Auburndale

The Woman’s Guild of the Church of the Messiah,
Auburndale, did sewing regularly in connection with
the local Red Cross and assisted in making surgical
dressings and in entertaining sailors.

The above account of the work of the women of the
churches in Newton, unfortunately is not complete,
many of the churches having failed to keep records,
and many of those who had charge of such records
as were kept having moved elsewhere.

Although no word has been received from the
Catholic Churches, the women of these churches did
valiant service working with their sisters in other
churches all during the war, and cooperating with them
in all community affairs.

“Farm, Finance or Fight”

FINANCE

FINANCE

Every resident of Newton can point with pride to
the splendid record made by this city in the tremendous
task which faced the country in financing the Great
War, either by loans to our Allies or meeting the
enormous expenses incurred in preparing this nation
for war purposes.

In addition to these most important tasks there were
many incidental drafts on the pocket-book of the
nation for United War work, Y. M. C. A. work. Red
Triangle campaign, 101st Regimental fund, Thrift
Stamps and War Savings certificates. War Camp Rec-
reation fund. Tobacco fund, and drives in Newton-
ville. West Newton and Newton Highlands for com-
munity work.

THE LIBERTY LOANS

It will be recalled that there were four issues of
Liberty bonds followed after the Armistice by one
issue of Victory bonds. The method of procedure was
the same in each of these campaigns. A general com-
mittee was organized for each of these loans with sub-
committees in each village of the city. Each village
was divided into districts and a house to house can-
vass made of the entire city. This work was done by
committees of men and women with splendid assist-
ance by the Boy Scouts. Four minute speeches were
made by prominent citizens in the churches and
theatres and full pages of advertisements carried in
the newspapers. Each subscriber to a bond was given
a button to wear and a placard to place in the window
of the home.

The results were most gratifying. The first Liberty
Loan drive ended in June, 1917, with a total of $3,-
986,850 subscribed by 5868 persons on a previously
determined quota of $1,000,000.

The second Liberty Loan drive ending in October,
1917, resulted in pledges of $6,090,600 by 6696 sub-
scribers on a quota of $3,475,000.

The third drive, terminating in April, 1918, brought
out $5,012,450 from 7,996 persons on a quota of
$2,500,000.

The “fighting” fourth Liberty loan drive was even
more successful with pledges of $8,801,500 from 13,088
subscribers on a quota of $5,778,000.

The enthusiasm of our people naturally abated some-
what after the Armistice and the fifth or Victory loan
fell off somewhat from the splendid record made in
the earlier loans. The result was still most creditable
to the patriotism of our people, with a total of $6,310,-
150 pledged from 6,478 subscribers on a quota of
$4,335,000.

The total subscriptions from residents of this city
for the five loans amounted to $30,201,550. It is in-
teresting to note that comparisons of the four Liberty
loans show that residents of this city subscribed at the
rate of over $500 per capita, while the average rate for
the entire country was only $160 per capita.

The record made by Newton as compared with some
of our neighbors in Massachusetts is also of interest

and the following figures show the percentage made in
each drive on the quota assigned to each.

Figures of the first drive are not available and it
should be borne in mind that in that drive, many sub-
scriptions made by residents of the suburbs were
credited to Boston. In each of the subsequent drives,
all such subscriptions were credited to the city or
town where the subscriber resided.

The credit for the success of these drives should be
given in large measure to the efficient committees which
handled all the arrangements and to the splendid co-
operation given the committees by the Newton Trust
Company, the First National Bank of West Newton,
the Newton Savings Bank, the West Newton Savings
Bank and the Newton Centre Savings Bank.

Hon. Seward W. Jones, president of the Newton
Trust Company, was chairman of the general com-

liam J. Doherty, Nonantum; Thomas W. White, New-
ton Upper Falls; James W. Spring, Oak Hill; H. H.
Bemis and W. L. Allen, Chestnut Hill.

This committee was assisted by Mayor Edwin O.
Childs, William F. Bartholomew, George P. Bullard,

In this connection the following letter issued by the
Newton Trust Company under date of January 8, 1919
may he of interest:

“To the Liberty Loan subscribers of .V ewton:

“During the vear just closed the people of Newton
have made a magnificent record for themselves which
has reflected the greatest credit on their city and added
much to its good name. 1 he 3rd and 4th Liberty
Loan campaigns were successfully carried over the
top. In the 3rd appear 10,000 subscriptions and a
grand total of $5,000,000 plus, and in the 4th the
splendid record of over 13.000 subscriptions for a total
of $8. 734.000 as compared with quotas of $2. 500,000
and $5,778,000 respectively tells the story of hard,
effective work by the patriotic Liberty Loan committees
and the fine response by the people of the city to the
Nation’s call.

“The Newton Trust Company wishes to take this
opportunity of thanking you for giving it the privilege
of handling your subscriptions to the various Liberty
Loans as well as many of your generous contributions
to War Charities. It has found the task a heavy one
at times and the strain on our organization, weakened
by the enlistment of most of our young men. including
many of our experienced officers, has been severe, but
in spite of the handicaps which it has suffered and its
many short-comings it sincerely hopes that your ver-
dict "of its work will be one of approval.

“During the four Liberty Loans the people of New-
ton have subscribed for approximately S22.000 000 of
bonds, or more than S500 for every man, woman, and
child in the city. The average for the entire country
has been about $160 per capita. The Newton Trust
Company has handled almost 20.000 subscriptions as
follows

First Loan 3800 for total of $1,050,000.00

Second Loan 4200 for total of $2,650,000.00

Third Loan 4800 for total of $1,575,000.00

Fourth Loan 7015 for total of $2,640,000.00

“Every dollar has been accounted for and, dependent
only on the receipt of bonds from the Federal Reserve
Bank of Boston, bonds have been delivered to every
subscriber on presentation of bis subscription receipt.
The tremendous amount of detail involved could never
have been successfully handled without the whole-
hearted support of the clerical force of the bank and
particularly of our Liberty Loan Department, com-
posed entirely of young women who have thrown their
whole souls "into the work ; worked days, nights, and
Sundays when necessary — and to whom the greatest
credit is due.

“The Woman’s Liberty Loan Committee of Newton
did excellent work throughout both campaigns and dur-

ing the Fourth especially in the midst of an epidemic of
influenza it rendered through the Newton Trust Com-
pany the most timely and valuable assistant; taking
subscriptions at all offices from morning until night and
doing a very large amount of clerical work in con-
nection with the Loan. Their patriotic enthusiasm was
inspiring to all.

“Up to the issue of this letter over 1500 bonds have
been received for safe keeping in our vaults from those
who have no facilities for keeping them. Coupons are
cut when due and credited to each owner’s account in
savings or checking departments — all without charge
in accordance with the desires of the Treasury depart-
ment of the Government.

“Loans secured by Liberty Bonds have been offered
most freely to all during the campaigns and at low
rates suggested by the Federal Reserve Bank of Bos-
ton in order to encourage subscriptions to the utmost.

“The directors and officers take much pardonable
pride in pointing out that while the expenses of those
activities have been considerable, they have not been
met in any way through profits at the expense of any
subscriber, large or small ; the $50.00 subscriber paving
one or two dollars a week having had his bond car-
ried for him at the rate of interest yielded by the bond
and no charges have accrued for anything.

“The entire organization, directors, officers, and
clerks, thank you again for having made use of us in
handling your subscriptions. It was our greatest op-
portunity to do our bit toward helping to win the war
and it was and is appreciated and valued accordingly.

Frank L. Richardson,

Treasurer.”

The splendid record made by Newton in the drives
for Liberty and Victory loans gave the city first place
in the Metropolitan district in the amount of bonds per
quota per capita.

In honor of this event the city was awarded the
privilege of christening one of the fleet of ships con-
structed by the nited States Shipping Board, Emer-
gency Fleet Corporation. Mayor Childs appointed
Miss Marguerite W. Jones, the daughter of Hon. and
Airs. Seward W. Jones of Newton Highlands to act
as sponsor, and Miss Jones accompanied by Air. and
Airs. Jones and Alderman and Airs. Frank L. Richard-
son went to the Newark Bay Plant of the Submarine
Boat Corporation at Newark, N. J., and on August 7
1919 christened one of these ships the “Nonantum.”

THE RED TRIANGLE

Newton was asked to raise a fund of $75,000 for
work by the Young Alen’s Christian Association un-
der the above title. Hon. Seward W. Jones was chair-
man; F. L. Richardson, secretary ; William T. Rich,
treasurer, and other members of the committee were
Alayor Childs. H. W. Orr. Henry Whitmore, H. H.
Bemis, Vernon B. Swett, William F. Chase, W. Lloyd
Allen, G. M. Heathcote, G. M. Winslow, Herbert E.
Locke. Lawrence Allen, Howard Whitmore, H. H.

WAR CAMP RECREATION FUND

A committee composed of Fred M. Blanchard, chair-
man. Mayor Edwin O. Childs, Stephen H. Whidden,
Arthur W. Hollis. Arthur Kendrick, James S. Cannon,
and William H. Rice was in charge of raising a quota
of $10,000 for the above purpose. About $7000 was
realized.

WAR SAVINGS STAMPS

A drive for the sale of War Savings Stamps was
inaugurated June 21, 1918, in charge of a committee
of which James A. Stafford was chairman ; Frank W.
Remick and H. J. Nichols, vice-chairmen; William
C. Bamburgh, in charge of publicity; Horton S. Allen,
secretary, and Mrs. S. Hardy Mitchell, in charge of
the women’s committee. As a result of this drive
$322,285 was raised in this manner. Work among
the pupils of the Newton schools produced $95,913
up to December 31, 1918.

UNITED WAR WORK

In November, 1918, a drive was started to fill a quo-

ta of $300,000 for the United War Work. H. j. Nich-
ols was chairman, J. A. Stafford and William D. Nu-
gent, vice-chairmen, and O. M. Fisher, W. Lloyd Allen,
Herbert M. Cole, W. J. Spaulding, G. M. Heathcote,
Lawrence Allen, Herbert E. Locke, C. H. Bingham,
E. Clifford Potter, H. D. Cabot, W. H. Zoller. George
S. West and James W. Spring were members of the
committee. This committee was assisted by a group
of boys under the leadership of Mayor Childs, and by
a group of girls under the direction of Mrs. Frank H.
Stewart. As a result, $325,000 was raised, 165% of
the quota.

The committee was assisted by the Victory Girls,
under the chairmanship of Mrs. Frank H. Stewart, as-
sisted bv Airs. E. S. Webster, Mrs. C. B. Wilbar, Mrs.
L. H. Marshall, Mrs. E. E. Conway, Mrs. Russell
Baker, Miss E. W. Sabin, Mrs. S. J. Surbeck, Mrs.

Jewish Welfare Bureau, W ar Camp Community Serv-
ice, American Library Association, and the Salvation
Army.

BONDS— AND BONDS

By Amos R. Wells

Buy a bond to break a bond,

Buy to ransom others.

Buy a bond to break a bond
Fettering your brothers.

Chains are cleft by golden swords,
Dollars conquer legions,

Silver ships are banners bare
To the farthest regions.

Purses hold the lives of men,

Money means decision,

Golden eagles lift the soul
To the heights of visions.

Buy a bond to break a bond,

Buy to ransom others,

Buy a bond to break a bond
Fettering your brothers.

EHE SELECTIVE SERVICE ACT

The outstanding feature of the entrance of the
United States in the World War was the adoption and
operation of the Selective Service act.

In all previous wars, the United States had usually
depended upon voluntary enlistments to obtain the sol-
diers and sailors necessary for its defence. History
had shown that this method was not satisfactory and
that stronger and more effective measures were neces-
sary.

Under the provisions of the Selective Act every male
in the entire country of the ages of 21 to 30 was re-
quired to be registered in the voting precinct in which
he resided. June 5, 1917, was the day selected by the
President and on that day nearly ten millions of men
were registered in the nation, of which 3434 were regis-
tered in the city of Newton, 3379 white men, 52 colored
and 3 Orientals. 2226 were native born, 112 natur-
alized citizens, 374 declarant aliens, 722 non-declarant
aliens, 1269 were married and 2165 single.

Further registrations were held on June 5 and August
24, 1918, to bring into the scope of the act, the young
men who had reached the age of 21 since the preceding
registration. On these dates 283 were registered of
whom 281 were white and 2 colored. There were
225 native citizens, 2 naturalized citizens, 1 declarant
alien and 55 non-declarant aliens. 26 were married and
257 single.

On September 12, 1918, a registration was held to
cover all persons not previously registered and between
the ages of 18 and 45 inclusive. 5334 were thus reg-
istered of whom 5241 were white, 78 colored, 14 ori-
ental and 1 Indian. There were 3611 native born
citizens, 559 naturalized citizens, 129 citizens by fath-
er’s naturalization, 408 declarant aliens, and 627 non-
declarant aliens. 839 between 19 and 36 inclusive were
married and 3 were married in the 18 year group. 3201
of the registrants of this registration were between the
ages of 37 and 45 and were not classified.

Another feature of the act was the establishment of
local boards to have jurisdiction of all claims for ex-
emption and discharge, of which the principal question
was that of dependency. These boards were appointed
by the Governors of the several states and for
this city Governor McCall appointed: Judge John C.
Kennedy, of the Newton District Court, chairman; Dr.
George L. West, medical examiner for the district and
Alderman Bernard Early, secretary. They were duly
qualified on July 10th and established offices in the
rooms of the Police Court.

Cards were filled out by each registrant giving con-
siderable data and allowing an opportunity to claim
exemption. These cards were subsequently shuffled
and each given a number seriatim. These numbers
were known as serial numbers and were the determin-
ing numbers in making the draft.

Each registrant was required to fill out an elaborate
questionnaire from which the local draft board assigned
his classification. Class 1 included single men without
dependent relatives, married men who have habitually
failed to support their family, married men dependent

on wife for support, married men whose family are
supported by income independent of his labor, un-
skilled farm laborers, unskilled industrial laborers, men
who claim no classification, men who fail to submit
questionnaire and all other men not included in other
classifications. The other classes included married men
with dependents, skilled labor, county or municipal
officers, employees in service of the United States, ex-
perts in industrial or technical trades, etc., etc.

The order of drawing at Washington was determined
as follows: Numbers from 1 to 10,500 were stamped
on pieces of paper, each piece being enclosed in a
black capsule and all placed in a large glass bowl and
thoroughly mixed with a ladle. The numbers were then
drawn publicly, one at a time by blindfolded men,
specially selected from college students. The order in
which any number was drawn from the bowl was re-
corded by six tallymen, and determined the relative
order of liability of the man whose card bore that
number in the sequences in which number had previ-
ously been assigned to the registration cards within the
jurisdiction of each local board.

300 were called from class 1 for examination on
August 6 and 7 and 398 for examination on August
15-16 and 17. A corps of local physicians volunteered
for the work of physical examination of registrants
and found 78 of the first call physically disqualified, 46
qualified and 70 qualified who claimed exemption. On
the second call 161 qualified and 85 claimed exemption
and 100 not qualified.

I he first men drafted by the local board were Ernest
J. Chadd, 276 Church st., and John W. Dunn, 2313
Washington st., to report on Sept. 5, 1917; Francis
J. Martin, 169 Ward st., and Charles A. Wilbur, [r.,
ordered to report Sept. 6, and Frederick H. Hughes,
54 Park st. ; Harry Trackman, 190 Adams st.. and
John J. Mahoney, 30 Ripley street, to report Sept.
7th.

On September 21st, 62 men left for Camp Devens,
after impressive exercises were held in front of the
City Hall at which Mayor Childs spoke as follows :

“This is a day of pride and of regret and the cily
bids you a hearty farewell and is proud of the manner
in which you have responded to the call of duty. Your
names will be forever kept on her roll of honor. The
spirit of complete patriotism shown by the youthful
Charles Ward at the beginning of the Civil War has
not weakened with the passing years and you have
manifested the same spirit that animated the boys of
’61. This is a typical American gathering, you come
from different homes, different creeds, and walks of
life to stand shoulder to shoulder as guardians of our
country. The hardest battles are not at the front but
will be fought in the tent and camp for character, and
the veterans of the Grand Army will tell you how hard
it is to keep straight in times of war.

“Remember first that you are men, then that you
are Americans, and next that you are soldiers. You
will be followed with gratitude, the best wishes and

39

the prayers of 40,000 people who will pray for a splen-
did service and a safe return.”

The mayor then presented Edward P. O’Neil, Ed-
ward Moan and Thomas M. Cummings, members of
the Police Department, with wrist watches, the gift
of their fellow officers.

The entire work of the draft board will be found at
the end of this section.

The total number of registrants physically examined
by the board was 1480. Of this number 1280 were
accepted either for general or special and limited serv-
ice. 200 registrants were rejected. The Medical Ad-
visory Board consisting of Dr. Herman T. Baldwin,
chairman ; Dr. Edward Melius, vice chairman, Dr.
Frank M. Sherman, secretary; Dr. M. E. Gleason, Dr.
Edward E. Bancroft (Wellesley), Dr. Charles H.
Fessenden, Dr. Albert B. Jewell, Dr. David W. Wells,
and Dr. Oliver A. Lothrop, examined 888 men at the
Newton Hospital. Dr. F. E. Withee w'as a member of
this board but resigned to enter the United States
army.

928 cases were taken to the District Board under all
registrations, including appeals by registrants govern-
ment Appeal agents or on industrial or agricultural
grounds.

In all cases where men failed to appear when or-
dered, the police were given authority to bring them
in. Only two men were found to be wilfull deserters
and these were taken to Camp Devens under police
escort.

Judge Kennedy died on August 11, 1917, and his
place was filled by Governor McCall on August 14, by
the appointment of Judge William F. Bacon. Mr.
Early resigned on July 31, 1918, on account of illness
and Mr. Leverett D. G. Bentley w'as appointed in his
place on September 17, 1918. Dr. West served as
secretary after Mr. Early’s resignation.

Mr. George Ralph Pulsifer was appointed to repre-
sent the government on all cases where the local board
granted exemptions, and many of the lawyers, resident
in the city gave freely of their time and advice to as-
sist the registrants in making out their questionnaires
and otherwise.

The Board of Instruction for Newton consisted of
Everett E. Kent, chairman; Alfred McDonald, secre-
tary, Fred A. Gay, registrar ; Fransesco Argento,
Charles M. Ford, Charles E. Hatfield, Joseph B. Jamie-
son, Horace Ividger, Dr. Fred M. Lowe, William D.
Nugent, Ulysses G. Wheeler and James White.

The hoard made its final report on December 17,
1918 as follows :

DRAFT BOARD WORK

The Local (Draft) Board for the City of Newton is
now making its final compilations, preparatory to go-
ing out of existence as a Federal organization. The
total number of registrants under the jurisdiction of
the Board has been 9054. From this number, 672 have
gone into the military and naval service of the Lhiited
States as volunteers, 664 have been inducted by the
Board and sent to camp under individual and special
calls.

No one who has not been in close touch with the
work can form anv adequate conception of the vol-
ume of labor involved in registering, classifying and
inducting the registrants, and in the innumerable de-
tails incidental to the business of every Local Board.

To perform this work without the assistance of volun-
teer helpers would have been a physical impossibility,
and assistance has been rendered by the citizens of
Newton with a willingness and efficiency which merits
this grateful acknowledgement by the Board.

Lawyers and doctors, teachers and pupils, employers
and employees, men and women alike, no matter how
deeply engrossed in their individual affairs, have sacri-
ficed their personal interests and with genuine patriotic
eagerness have devoted their time and labor to the
work which, if required in a different cause, would
have been irksome drudgery. The truly wonderful
willingness with which the entire country adopted the
Selective Service Law, has been emphasized in this
city, not only by the fine spirit shown by the drafted
men, and by the loyal and painstaking work of the
employees of the Board, but especially by the alacrity
of our fellow citizens in giving their services day after
day and night after night in order to make the draft an
amazing success.

The report on the Local Board for the City of New-
ton, recently made to the Adjutant General of Massa-
chusetts by the Government Inspector, commending
the work of the Board, states that “ideal conditions
surround this Board.” This can only mean that the
satisfactory result of the Board’s labors are due to
the unstinted assistance of the groups of Newton men
and woman who have always been at hand and have
borne a large share of the burden.

were at a loss to know what to do.

Father Farrell, who had been studying and observing

57

military science since he “hitched up,” jumped into
the breach and took command of the temporarily dis-
organized gun crew. The conduct of Father Farrell
was so meritorious in action that he was recommended
for the Croix dc Guerre.

Not only on the agressive side is Father Farrell re-
markable, but in his humanity even more so. At
Seicheprey he went out into “No Man’s Land,” with
shells bursting, and in the face of a fierce and venge-
ful Hun barrage fire. He went “out there” to rescue
Edward Dickenson, the youngest member of F Bat-

tery, 103rd Field Artillery — a Bridgeport, Conn., youth
— only 16.

The heroic act of Father Farrell in rescuing the
youngster cost the fighting priest a trip to the hospital
— he was wounded.

The second wound stripe came at St. Mihiel, when
the natural impetuousness of the chaplain led him to
look about between the Hun and the American lines
to see if any of his boys needed aid, or mayhap the
last rites of the Church — for Father Farrell never for-
got that primarily he was a man of God.

LA CROIX DE GUERRE
Dorothy Drake

Low bending o’er the prostrate forms
That lay in a field of rye,

With sweeping curves of his great white wings,
The Angel of God drew nigh.

Some there were upon whose breast
Rested the Croix dc Guerre;

In the silver moonlight it glittered and shone,
And seemed so wondrous fair.

Yet the Angel of God stayed not by these,

But he knelt by one lonely one

Who far apart from his comrades lay,

Where he fell when the day was done.

Then bending down he placed on him
A cross of most beautiful hue;

'Not for what thou hast done,” he whispered low,
“But for what thou hast tried to do.”

NEWTON CONSTABULARY

In the work of the Recruiting Committees of the
Committee on Public Safety, a large number of men
were found who were anxious to render some form
of service, but who, for physical or other reasons,
could not qualify for membership in the State Guard.

Plans were made therefore, to have these men ap-
pointed special police officers of the city of Newton,
formed into local companies and drilled as a military
body. The name, Newton Constabulary, was selected
and under the leadership of Brig. General James G
White, about one thousand men qualified for that serv-
ice, the oath being administered on May 18th, 1917,
by Chief of Police Frederick M. Mitchell.

Active work of drilling was begun at once and on
Memorial Day, the Constabulary made a most favorable
impression at the usual military parade.

Newton, Newtonville, West Newton, Auburnclale,
Waban, Newton Highlands and Newton Centre were
charter members, so to speak, of the organization and
on October 8, Chestnut Hill founded an active com-
pany.

A band of 32 pieces was also organized under the
direction of Harry B. Owens, as chief musician.

The Constabulary took an active part in the public
reception tendered United States Senator John W.
Weeks, held in Brav Hall, Newton Centre, on Feb-
ruary 26, 1918.

An interesting feature of the work of the Constabu-
lary was the indoor competitive shoot between the dif-
ferent companies. The prize of a silver cup was won
by Company B of Waban, Capt. Fulton, Lieut. Sawyer
Sergt. Gould and Privates Stephen, Ferris and Jack-
son winning silver medals.

The gold medal for the highest average was awarded
to Orderly Sergt. A. D. Wheeler with a score of 193.87
out of a possible 200. These prizes were given at the
Memorial Day parade on Claflin Field.

569 members of the Constabulary performed regu-
lar police service for a period of several weeks from
July 1st to Sept. 25th, at the request of Chief Mitchell
in order to allow regular police officers to enjoy their
usual vacation.

Undoubtedly the most valuable service performed by
the Constabulary was service during the influenza epi-
demic in the fall of 1918. The former Woodland
Park Hotel was turned into a temporary hospital for
the large number of cases of this disease and the Con-
stabulary served as orderlies, ambulance drivers,
stretcher bearers and nurses from September 26th to

October 27th. Many of the men served two, three and
in some cases four rounds of duty. Guards and fire
patrols were carefully instructed in the use of fire
apparatus and every precaution taken to prevent danger
from fire. The performance of this work in con-
junction with the somewhat trying tour of police duty
which had just been completed from July 4th to Sep-
tember 25th when the men had been on duty from mid-
night to seven in the morning, must abundantly prove
to the City of Newton that the Constabulary was com-
posed of public spirited men who were ready for duty
at any and all times. 58 officers and 674 men served
on hospital duty.

As a token of appreciation of the work of the Con-
stabulary, the following order was passed by the Board
of Aldermen on December 17, 1917 :

“RESOLVED

“That this Board recognizes and appreciates the ef-
forts of the members of the Newton Constabulary in
fitting themselves for possible emergencies and we as-
sure them that we will do all in our power to encourage
and support them in every legal manner.

“RESOLVED that the City Clerk transmit a copy
ot this resolution to the captain of each company of the
Newton Constabulary.”

In General Orders 20 dated October 11, 1918, Chief
of Police Frederic M. Mitchell paid the following com-
pliment to the Newton Constabulary:

“It is a pleasure for me to say that the men of the
Newton Constabulary grasped the details of their new
work with unexpected rapidity. They showed the ex-
cellent results of military training, and displayed the
same energy and ability that has made them prominent
in their walks of life. I can only add that the Police
work of the Newton Constabulary was a complete suc-
cess, that the City has saved a large amount of money,
that the men may rightfully assume the satisfaction of
having performed a large share of genuine war ser-
vice.”

After the Armistice, the interest in the work fell off
and the usual weekly drills were discontinued.

The service officially ceased on July 28, 1919.

During the police strike in Boston in the fall of
1919, the Newton Constabulary formed the nucleus of
a unit in the Massachusetts State Guard and under the
command of Col. James G. White, rendered active
service for three weeks in protecting the city of Bos-
ton.

They gave the last full

measure of devotion

AWAY

I cannot say, and I will not say

That he is dead — He is just away.

With a cheery smile and a wave of the hand.

He has wandered into an unknown land.

And left us dreaming how very fair

It needs must be, since he lingers there.

And you — O you who the wildest yearn

For the old time step and the glad return —

Think of him faring on, as dear

In the love of There as the love of Here;

And loyal still, as he gave the blows

Of his warrior-strength to his country’s foes,-

Mild and gentle as he was brave

When the sweetest love of his life he save

To simple things: — Where the violets grew
Blue as the eyes they were likened to.

The touches of his hands have strayed
As reverently as his lips have prayed :

When the little brown thrush that harshly chirped
Was dear to him as the mocking bird ;

And he pitied as much as a man in pain
A writhing honey-bee wet with rain —

GARDNER C. ABBOTT

Enlisted in the navy April 14, 1917, as a seaman and
at the i time of his death, September 12, 1918, was
senior quartermaster, second class, of the U. S. S.
Wachusett. Mr. Abbott was 21 years of age and was
educated at the Forster Grammar School of Somerville
and the Morris Heights Preparatory School at Provi-
dence, R. 1. He died of pneumonia at the Naval
Hospital in Chelsea.

CLARK ALVORD

Clark Alvord, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Ralph
Alvord of Auburndale, enlisted at Allentown, Pa.,
December 14, 1917, in section 604, U. S. Army Am-
bulance Service. He served in Italy and France and
died February 23, 1919, at Donjeux, France.

ALBERT EDGAR ANGIER

The Distinguished Service Cross was awarded
posthumously to Albert Edgar Angier, for the courage
that he showed in the last moments of his life. But
the whole record of his military service is inspiring,
and there are few whose story shines with a brighter
lustre.

He was born on January 20, 1897, at Waban, Massa-
chusetts, the son of George McNeil Angier and Emma
J. (Gill) Angier. After graduating from the Newton
High School in 1914, he went for two years to the
Thacher School, at Ojai, California. In his freshman
year at Harvard he was manager of the Gore Hall
football team, and a member of the Freshman Red
Book Committee and of the Crimson staff. He en-
rolled in the R. O. T. C. and spent the period from
May 7 to August 15, 1917, in camp; he was recom-
mended for a commission as first lieutenant of infantry
in the National Army when he should reach the
required age.

On January 5, 1918, he enlisted as a private in the
National Army and was sent to the Third Officers’
Training School at Camp Upton.

In a company of four hundred men, Angier ranked
in military efficiency twenty-fourth. At the end of
March the 77th Division received its overseas orders ;
the college men in the School, not having previously
belonged to the division, were summoned one by one
to the commandant’s office and given the choice of
staying in America with the probability of soon re-
ceiving a commission, or of going overseas with the
division as privates, with great uncertainty as to when,
if ever, they would receive commissions. Angier
volunteered for overseas service at once.

He arrived in France at the end of April and for
two months and a half was in billets, getting his final
training, except for brief periods when he was sent up
to the front line for more direct object lessons.

On July 13 the much-hoped-for commission as
second lieutenant arrived : The appointment read “as
of June 1.” Angier was assigned to Company L, 308th
Infantry. This regiment was at the front practically
all the time during August and September and went

67

through hard and continuous fighting along the Vesle
River and near Fismes.

The promotion to first lieutenant was awarded to
him in recognition of his extraordinary service and
bravery in action. At Ville Savoie there was a large
cave in which several hundred men could take shelter.
One day when fifteen or twenty officers and men were
standing in front of it, the enemy artillery suddenly
opened up on them, killing six officers and men and
wounding as many more. Angier, who happened to
be inside, rushed out and with great risk to himself
helped the wounded to safety.

With his promotion came his assignment to Company
M, 308th Infantry.

On September 14 the battalion, much reduced by
its losses, attacked Revillon, a well-organized and
heavily defended point which had repulsed all previous
attempts of the Americans. In the charge, Captain
L. W. Miles led, closely followed by Angier. Captain
Miles was wounded and fell, leaving Angier in com-
mand of the company. A soldier carrying a chauchat
machine gun was struck ; Angier picked up the gun
and advanced, firing it and encouraging his men. A
moment later he was wounded, but he continued to
advance. Then he received a mortal wound ; Sergeant
Wahl, who had been following just behind him, took
him in his arms. “Lay me down and look after the
other men,” said Angier. He died within a few
moments.

On January 10, 1919, the Commanding General of
the American Expeditionary Forces awarded Angier
the Distinguished Service Cross.

He was buried on September 15, 1918, in the
churchyard at Blanzy, with military honors. Later the
remains were removed to the American Cemetery at
Seringes-et-Nesles, Department of Aisne.

The “war degree” of Bachelor of Arts was conferred
on him in 1920 by Harvard.

A memorial service was held in the Church of the
Good Shepherd, Waban, on January 5, 1919.

RICHARD ASHLEY BLODGETT

Son of Edward E. and Mabel (Fuller) Blodgett;
was born in Brookline, Mass., June 27th, 1897. He
attended the Newton High School and Lawrenceville.
N. J., where he was prominent in athletics. He entered
Williams College in the class of 1919, and during his
freshman year played on his class football team and
was captain of the hockey team ; the following year
was on the ’Varsity football squad. He was an
admirable musician and played on several instruments;
he was a member of the Sigma Phi Fraternity.

In 1916 he attended the Officers’ Training Camp at
Plattsburg, and when war was declared he volunteered
for six months’ ambulance service abroad, leaving
college in his sophomore year. He sailed for France
May 5th, 1917, and when on arrival he found the
ambulance service over-crowded, he signed for six
months’ duty as a munitions truck-driver, during
which time he won a commendation from the French
Commander, “for courage and coolness displayed
under violent bombardment, July 28, 1917.”

Before the time of his camion service had expired,
he was transferred to Aviation training at Tours,

Issoudon, and graduated from the School of Acro-
batics. He was an able and enthusiastic flyer, and it
was believed he would surely become an Ace. When
the 95th Pursuit Squadron was formed, he was as-
signed to it and accompanied it to the Toul sector ; and
about March 1st he was one of a famous trio that went
over the lines patrolling without guns between Epernav
and Rheims at 5500 metres.

He was killed in action on May 17, 1918.

Memorial services were held in St. Bernard’s
Church, West Newton, on May 29, 1918.

STAFFORD LEIGHTON BROWN

Lieutenant Stafford Leighton Brown crossed on
the Rochambeau March 12, 1917, as an ambulance dri-
ver. After spending some weeks at work near Paris,
he was sent in charge of nineteen others to Bordeaux
to bring back twenty Ford cars to Paris, 600 kilometers
in 2j4 days.

He served five months, largely in the vicinity of

68

Verdun where there was much desperate fighting at
that time. He was given a large White car to operate,
capable of carrying ten blesses, sitting up. The large
cars were always marked by the enemy as carrying
something worthwhile — as food, gas, ammunition, etc.
One day while hurrying to deliver 400 litres gasoline,
a well directed shell blew the White’s rear end away
and Stafford could save but two cans of gas before
the flames surrounded the car, and it all blew up.
These five months were replete with narrow escapes
from death by shell explosions, the danger of dropping
into shell holes in the roads when driving at night
without lights and many other risks, daily and hourly,
taken.

Stafford transferred to the Lafayette Escadrille,
receiving his training at Tours under Major Gros and
at Issoudun. He had almost finished formation flying
in the 7th class when a defect in the Spad which he
was driving to the front, caused his death by a fall,
Saturday, September 28, 1918, at 3.45 P. M.

In August, Stafford and another were sent on an
important mission to England. As they were leaving,
and luckily before they cleared the ground, the left
shock absorber broke, letting down the landing gear
on that side, the plane turned over, and the other man
was killed, Stafford escaping without a scratch. Later
driving a Brequet, a tire blew out, cleverly landing
on one wheel, Stafford saved himself and the plane.
Following that a British Chasse with a Monosupays
motor caught fire in the air. This time he was close
enough to the ground to wing slip, making a safe
landing. In another plane, when up 50 feet, the
engine stopped dead, but before reaching the ground,
it had lost sufficient speed to enable Stafford to land
without smashing a thing. These three last experiences
bear out his reputation of being a daring and resource-
ful pilot, second to none in promising ability to keep
his head under unusual circumstances.

Stafford took important photographs over No Man’s
Land for the French government.

CHAUNCEY DAVIS BRYANT

Chauncey Davis Bryant was born in Chicopee, Mass.,
December 16, 1891, and graduated from Chicopee High
School. In 1910, he entered the Massachusetts Insti-
tute of Technology and graduated in 1914 in the course
of Sanitary Engineering. He was a member of the
Theta Delta Chi Fraternity.

At the outbreak of the war, he enlisted in the
101st Engineers, Co. E (formerly the First Corps of
Cadets) and went overseas with that organization in
September, 1917. After serving three months with
the regiment, he died of pneumonia in La Roche,
France, on January 5, 1918. He was the son of Mrs.
Sarah Bryant of Newton.

A memorial service was held in Channing Church,
Newton, on April 13, 1918.

RAYMOND G. BRYSON

At the time the United States entered the World
War, Bryson was a private in Company C, 5th Massa-
chusetts Regiment (later the 101st Infantry) having
enlisted in 1916 and served on the Mexican border.
He responded to the call of President Wilson and sailed
from Hoboken, September 7, 1917. He participated in
the major operations at Champagne-Marne, Aisne-
Marne, Meuse-Argonne and Defensive sector and was
killed in action October 27, 1918, at Belleau Wood,
north of Verdun, within the German lines, and it was
several days before his body was recovered. He was
19 years of age and the son of Mr. and Mrs. John B.
Bryson of West Newton.

He is buried in Meuse-Argonne American Cemetery
at Romagne-sous-Montfaucon, France.

ELLIOT ADAMS CHAPIN

Son of Cyrus S. and Alice (Bigelow) Chapin, of
Newton Centre, Mass., was horn May 10th, 1895, at
Somerville, Mass. He was educated at the Newton
High School, class of 1913; and at Phillips Andover
Academy, graduating with the class of 1914. He
entered Harvard College in the class of 1918. In his
freshman year he played on the Gore Hall football
team, and in 1915 captained the Gore Hall baseball
team. In the fall of 1916 he was elected to the Pi
Eta Society.

At the close of his junior year, in April, 1917, he
enlisted in the U. S. N. R. F. Coast Patrol, after
having been refused by the U. S. Aviation Service,
because of a minor defect in one eye. Being eager to
serve in Aviation, however, he applied for and obtained
an honorable discharge from the U. S. N. R. F.
effective upon his enlistment in the British Royal Fly-
ing Corps, which he did on August 26th, 1917. He
reported at Toronto, Canada, on September 6, and re-
ceived ground and flying training at Descronto and
Long Branch ; he continued his training at Camp Hicks,
Fort Worth, Texas, where, in December, 1917, he was
commissioned 2nd Lieutenant. On December 31, 1917,
he sailed from Halifax on the Tunisan, as part of the
convoy with the ill-fated Tuscana when she was tor-
pedoed off the Irish coast. Lieutenant Chapin volun-
teered, when the Captain called for “extra submarine
watch,” and afterward wrote his family that ‘it was the
most exciting three hours he had ever spent.”

70

After further intensive training at old Sarum,
Salisbury, England, he was commissioned 1st Lieuten-
ant in April, 1918, only seven months after beginning
training. Early in May, 1918, he was ordered to
France, and with his observer flew his plane, a large
de Haviland bomber, over the Channel and across
France to the aerodrome of the 99th Squadron,
R. A. F., 6 miles south of Nancy.

His squadron was a bombing squadron, whose
duties were to harass the enemy lines of communica-
tion, railways, ammunition dumps and aerodromes.

On June 27, 1918, Lieutenant Chapin was sent
with others to bomb the railway at Thionville, north
of Metz. After successfully dropping their bombs,
the formation was attacked by a large number of
Fokker scouts. In a desperate fight a shot passed
through the petrol tank of Lieutenant Chapin’s plane,
causing an explosion which sent the machine down in
flames from 1300 feet. Lieutenant Chapin fell at
Thionville, 25 miles within the enemy lines, and was
killed. As the machine went down he was seen to
turn to his observer and shake hands with him.

Lieutenant Chapin’s maternal grandfather, George
E. Bigelow, was killed in the Civil War at the battle
of Fredericksburg. His great-grandfather, Captain
John Bigelow, fought in the Revolutionary War, and
was delegate to the Convention to ratify the Con-
stitution.

FRANK H. CHIVERS

Sergeant Chivers enlisted as a private in Battery
B, 101st Regiment Field Artillery, in the early spring
of 1917.

After weeks of training at the Commonwealth
Armory, the regiment was sent to Camp Curtis Guild,
Boxford, Massachusetts, where they received further
preliminary training. It was here that Frank Chivers
received his sergeancy. Early in September, he was
sent over seas and then ensued a winter of intensive
training.

In February, 1918, the Battery had its first en-
counter with the enemy at Chemin des Dames, and
from that time on, the Regiment was, with the ex-
ception of a few days at rest camps, always to be found
along the front lines.

When the great Chateau-Thierry drive was well
under way, Sergeant Chivers received the wound which
later resulted in his death. The Battery had ceased
firing on the evening of July 21st, and after a short
lull, the enemy opened their guns and sent over a
terrific bombardment of gas and high explosive shells.
The men immediately sought shelter, and it was while
Sergeant Chivers was seeing that his men were in
safety, that he was struck by a bursting shell.

He was immediately sent to the first aid station, and
then evacuated to a field hospital, where he died a few
hours later.

For his devotion to duty that night, he was recom-
mended for the Distinguished Service Cross, and cited
for bravery in the General Orders of the 26th Division.

His officers said of him that he was one of the
best liked men in the Battery ; was courageous to the
point of recklessness ; absolutely fearless ; of unfailing
spirits and good cheer; a friend to all his men; a horn
leader.

A memorial service was held in the Newton Metho-
dist Church, May 4, 1918.

HENRY WARE CLARKE

He was born in Chicago, November 19, 1893, the
son of Charles Atherton Clarke and Georgianna
(Whiting) Clarke, who lived in Newton, Massa-
chusetts, since this son was two years old.

Henry Clarke attended the grammar and high schools
of Newton, and, for one term, the Stone School in
Boston. He entered Harvard College with the class of
1916, and in due course, though showing a special
interest in the study of literature and theology, took
the degree of Bachelor of Science.

In the summer of his graduation he attended the
Business Men’s Training Camp at Plattsburg, and in
the autumn went into business with his father in the
Universal Boring Machine Company at Hudson, Mas-
sachusetts. Here he showed ability and aptitude, but
when the United States entered the war, he volunteered
for the First Officers’ Training Camp at Plattsburg,
where he was attached to the New England Regiment,
first in the 11th, then in the 2nd Company. On August
15th he received his commission as second lieutenant,

71

O. R. C. infantry. Volunteering immediately for
service overseas, he was one of the first nineteen Reserve
Officers chosen for this duty, and, sailing early in
September, reached France before the month was out.

On October 10, Clarke was assigned to the British
Army for a few weeks of training at a bayonet school,
where he also received instruction in Swedish gym-
nastics. This took him into the forward area near
Lens.

In November he was assigned to the 16th Infantry,
First Division, A. E. F., and to this unit of the Regular
Army he belonged until he was killed. Early in No-
vember he served in the first line trenches at Lune-

ville. On November 28, at Joire, he was appointed

assistant judge advocate by Major General Sibert, and
in March and April of 1918 took a course in machine
gunnery at an American machine gun school in France.

On May 28, he was killed during the first counter
attack of the Germans after the American capture of
Cantignv. An eye-witness of his death, Lieutenant
Joseph Connor, reported: “He was commanding a
platoon of machine guns, and putting on indirect fire
during the attack, and he had not been firing more
than three minutes when a Boche 155 shell exploded

near him. The shrapnel shattered his knee, and one

piece went through his head just above the eye. He
was killed instantly, and there was a smile on his face
when we carried him out.”

Clarke was buried at Bonvilliers, near Cantigny.
On December 23, 1921 his body was reinterred at Mt.
Auburn Cemetery, Cambridge. The official recognition
of his valor was expressed in the following citation :

HEADQUARTERS FIRST DIVISION
General Orders No. 1, January 1, 1920,

The Division Commander
cites for gallantry in action
and especially meritorious services
2d Lieutenant Henry W. Clarke, M. G. Co., 16th Inf.
who was killed in action
near Cantigny, France, May 28, 1918.

By command of

Major General SUMMERHALL.

A memorial service was held in Channing Church,
Newton, on April 13, 1918.

DOROTHY W. CROSBY

Dorothy W. Crosby had been an ardent worker in
the Red Cross in Boston, first at 142 Berkeley Street
and later at 1000 Washington Street. She took all the
Red Cross courses and, in addition, the Seventy-two
Hour Course at the Massachusetts General Hospital.
She entered the Base Hospital at Camp Devens with
the first thousand students admitted to the Army
School of Nursing, July 24, 1918. While in the per-
formance of her duties at the Base Hospital, she was
stricken with the influenza and died September 23,
1918.

JOHN JAMES CURLEY

John James Curley, son of Mr. and Mrs. M. F.
Curley of 79 Manet Road, Chestnut Hill, was born on
May 5, 1890. He was educated in the Newton Public
Schools and was graduated from the Wentworth In-
stitute in the class of 1912.

After completing his studies he engaged in the
plumbing business in Boston. His technical training
had assisted him in the development of some new
ideas which he was planning to introduce into the
plumbing trade previous to entering the service of his
country.

He entered the service on October 5, 1917 and re-
ceived intensive military training at Camp Gordon,
Atlanta, Georgia and embarked for France on April
25, 1918. His regiment was reviewed by the King and
Queen of Great Britain in London while on its way
to the front.

He served as Platoon Sergeant in Company I, 325th
Infantry, 82d Division, in the front lines for five
months. On October 12, 1918, he was mortally
wounded by enemy machine-gun fire near St. Juvin,
France, during the Argonne-Meuse offensive. His
comrades carried him to the rear, but he died before
they could reach the hospital.

The 325th Infantry was in the hardest fighting and
during the Argonne-Meuse Offensive suffered 2840
casualties out of 3376 men. A large number of decor-
ations and citations bear eloquent testimony to the
heroic men of his regiment.

He was buried in the American Cemetery at Ro-
mange, France, where the white crosses are like daisies
spread upon that beautiful hillside of the heroic dead.

“He was so brave,

I watched him when the regiment marched past,

As he went by

The sun grew dark forever and a blast

Of winter struck me from his distant grave ;

My boy whose country called on him to die,

Who was so brave!”

DONALD W. CURRY

Donald Woodworth Curry was born in Newton
Highlands, July 22, 1900.

He prepared at Newton High and entered Massa-
chusetts Institute of Technology in 1917. In the fall
of 1918 he became an apprentice seaman, Students
Navy Training Corps of the Institute and died at the
Naval Hospital in Chelsea on November 17, 1918.

EUGENE JOSEPH DALEY, Jr.

Eugene J. Daley, Jr., was the son of Mr. and Mrs.
Eugene J. Daley of Chestnut Hill, Mass. He went
from Newton with the first draft to Camp Devens and
later to Camp Gordon at Atlanta, Georgia. In the
summer of 1918 he went over seas as sergeant in Com-
pany G, 326th Infantry, 82nd Division, under Captain
Lamar Jeffers. This division relieved the 101st over
there at the battle of the Argonne Forest. Over half
of his company was killed on the 11th of October,
1918, including both Lieutenants. After heavy fighting

the company was ordered to retreat, and Daley was
among the wounded left on the field. He was then
captured by the Germans and carried hack to Zwei-
brucken, Germany, where he died on October 19, 1918.

WARREN Iv. DALEY

Warren K. Daley enlisted at the minimum age and
was sent to Camp Curtis Guild at Boxford as a private
in Co. B, 101st field artillery. Shortly before he was
to go overseas, he received permission to visit his home
and on his way was fatally injured in a motor car
accident on August 18, 1917.

PHILIP WASHBURN DAVIS

Philip Washburn Davis, born at West Newton,
Massachusetts, March 10, 1888, was a son of Samuel
Warren and Mary E. Davis.

Entering Harvard in 1904, he graduated cum laude,
in 1908. In his junior and senior years, respectively,
he won the benefits of the John Appleton Haven and
C. L. Jones Scholarships. In his senior year, besides,
he was named for a Disquisition. His athletic inter-
ests were those of track (hurdling) and tennis, in each
of which he was proficient; nor did his tennis playing
cease with college. On his graduation he entered the

73

Boston office of Lee Higginson and Company, with
which he remained for two years. After this experi-
ence, and an association with a smaller house, he
became a partner in the investment firm of Chamberlain
and Davis, with which he was associated when the
United States joined the belligerent nations.

The day after war was declared he made application
for the United States Aviation Service. As the weeks
went by and he heard nothing from this, eager as usual
to choose for himself and give his best, rather than
to wait and see what was going to be done with the
former First Corps, he went overseas, having joined
the Norton-Harjes Ambulance Unit. As soon as he
reached Paris, however, he enlisted in the Franco-
American (Lafayette) Flying Corps. He trained in
the schools at Avord, Pau, Cazau, etc., and was chosen
to be scout pilot. In February, 1918, he transferred to
the American service, going to the front in the Toul
sector as a member of the 94th Aero Squadron (the
well-known “hat-in-the-ring” squadron). He lost his
life on June 2, 1918, when four American planes, re-
turning from escorting a bomber up the Rhine Valley,
attacked seven German planes and drove them off. lie
had started for home, when his machine burst into
flames and went down behind the German lines. His
grave was found, after a long search, in the commune
of Richecourt, Meuse, and the ground has since been
purchased, so that it will not be disturbed.

A memorial service for Mr. Davis was held in the
West Newton Unitarian Church, on August 4. 1918.

FREDERICK D. DAY

Frederick Drew Day of Auburndale was one of the
first to go overseas, leaving Boston September 25,
1917.

He contracted spinal meningitis and died at Chau-
mont, France, on January 22, 1918.

VICTOR L. DENNIS

Victor Leon Dennis was born in Galt, Ontario,
Canada, December 30, 1890 and was the fourth son of
Frederick H. Dennis and Elizabeth Skoyles Dennis.
The family soon removed to Newton Lower Falls and
Victor attended the Hamilton and Newton High
Schools. He possessed a remarkable soprano voice
and sang in the choir of St. Mary’s Church and as a
soloist at the Church of the Emmanuel, Boston.

He attended the Wentworth Institute in Boston and
specialized in mechanical drawing and motor design.
Later he was in charge of the assembling of airplane
motors for the Royal Air Force. He joined the
Michigan State Troops on the declaration of war in
April, 1917, and later passed an examination of 100
per cent for admission to the Aviation section of the
U. S. Signal Corps at Chicago. He was first ordered
to the Ohio State University at Columbus, Ohio, and
later was sent to Love Field, near Dallas, Texas. On
February 19, 1918, while in the air, he met with an
accident and on reaching the ground the plane was in
flames and Dennis was so severely burned that he died
a few hours later.

MICHAEL J. DEVINE

Michael J. Devine was born in Roxbury, December
7, 1887, and he had resided in West Newton about ten
years up to the time of his death. He was the son
of the late Michael and Mary Devine of West Newton.

When the call for troops to go to the Mexican bor-
der came he applied at the Armory in Waltham for
enlistment in Co. F. His physical examination showed
an internal trouble which necessitated a serious oper-
ation. His determination was to enlist in Co. F and
he went to the Waltham Hospital and had the oper-
ation performed.

Afterwards he passed the physical test, was admitted
to Co. F and proceeded to Framingham and subse-
quently to the Mexican border.

of Lieutenant Herrick from a Red Cross representa-
tive :

“I was talking with some of the men about Lieuten-
ant Herrick and it would be a satisfaction to you to
know with how much affection and admiration they
spoke of him. They said he was always full of fun
and helped to keep them all in good spirits. He was
considered an unusually good flyer.”

He wrote to his sister just a short time before his
death :

“I haven’t any misgivings as to my ability to fly,
nor do I anticipate any accidents, but if it so happens
that I do ‘go west’ I shall at least have contributed to
a just cause and I ask you to rejoice in the fact that
I gave all I had for my country and for humanity.”

Lieutenant Herrick was buried with military honors
at Cemetery No. 32, about seven miles from Issoudun.

STEPHEN TULLOCK HOPKINS

Stephen Tullock Hopkins was a direct descendant
of Stephen Hopkins, signer of the Declaration of
Independence and for many years Governor of Rhode
Island. He was born in Newtonville, Massachusetts,
March 19, 1892, the son of Edward Earl Hopkins
(Harvard D. M. D., ’82) and Louise (Tullock) Hop-
kins. He entered Harvard from the Newton High
School. Throughout his college course he had a
prominent part in many activities. He was a member
of the freshman football squad and hockey team,
played two years on his class football team, one year
on the second football team, one year on the soccer
team, and three years on the varsity hockey team. He
had many social interests — The Institute of 1770,
D. K. E., Hasty Pudding, O. K., Varsity and Porcel-
lian Clubs ; he was vice-president of the Iroquois Club
and president of the Newton High School Club.

After graduating from college he studied for a year
in the Graduate School of Business Administration,
and then entered the Lancaster Mills at Clinton, Mas-
sachusetts, to learn the cotton business. He remained
there two years ; he was then made assistant treasurer
of the Becker Milling Machine Company at Hyde
Park, Massachusetts, and he held that position up to
the time when he enlisted in the aviation service.

He entered the Army Aviation School at the Massa-
chusetts Institute of Technology in September, 1917.
At the end of October he was sent to Foggia, Italy,
where he had seven months’ training. He was com-
missioned second lieutenant May 13, 1918.

From Foggia he went to Vendome, France, for
further training, and later to Clermont-Ferrand, for
practice in bombing and formation flying. Being
anxious to reach the front as soon as possible, he chose
bombing as likely to be the quickest means to active
service.

At the completion of his training in August, 1918,

77

he was assigned as a bombing pilot to the 96th Aero
Squadron, 1st Day Bombardment Group, and proceeded
at once to the front.

On September 13, during the great offensive at St.
Mihiel, his plane was shot down in flames, and both he
and his observer, Lieutenant Bertram Williams, per-
ished. News that they were missing in action reached
their families some three months before it was ascer-
tained that they had been killed. They were buried at
Charey, France.

Lieutenant Hopkins is officially credited with one
enemy airplane.

It is a satisfaction to add that the Distinguished
Service Cross which Lieutenant Roth felt should be
awarded to Lieutenant Hopkins and Lieutenant
Williams was finally conferred upon them.

A memorial service was held in Central Church.
Xewtonville, on May 25. 1918.

as 2nd Lieutenant August 18th, 1918. He sailed
September 13th, 1918 with the 13th Regiment, Co. M,
and died on board the U. S. S. Henderson of pneu-
monia, September 27, 1918.

A memorial service was held June 1. 1918. in Trinity
Church. Newton Centre.

LEONARD JACKSON

Leonard Jackson was born January 14, 1897, the son
of George West Jackson (Harvard ’79) and Grace
Irving (Whiting) Jackson, and graduated from New-
ton High in 1915.

His acceptance of the idea that America must one
day play her part in the world conflict was unquestion-
ing. Also that every citizen must prepare himself
for such service as he was best fitted to render.

It was in no spirit of careless adventure that he
joined the Harvard Regiment or enrolled in the Platts-
burg Training Camp, 1916; for him it was the obvious
course to pursue.

He was a member of the official Harvard Unit of the
R. O. T. C. January 5, 1918, he enlisted as a private
in the National Army at Camp Upton, N. Y., where
his training began in earnest. He took and passed
the examinations for a commission and on March 26,
1918 was recommended for a Second Lieutenancy. So
great, however, was his desire to get over, that he with
other members of the R. O. T. C. volunteered to join
the 305th Infantry, 77th Division for immediate ser-
vice in France. He sailed April 16th.

On July 13, he received his commission as a second
Lieutenant of Infantry, dating from June 1st. About
the 1st of August he was transferred to the 110th In-
fantry, 26th Division, then stationed near Fismes.
He was permanently attached on August 11th to Co.
M. He was killed on the 25th.

The story of the final action in which Lt. Jackson
took part is told in a letter from his Company Com-
mander :

“One of the meanest jobs during the two weeks that
we spent on the Vesle River fell to Lt. Jackson. With
the detail of a portion of his platoon, he was entrusted
with the task of cleaning out a number of machine-gun
nests on the railroad track along the river, and at 4
o’clock on the afternoon of August 24, (official in-
formation gives the date as August 25), he led his men
to the attack with great gallantry, in the face of
terrific machine-gun and one pounder fire, followed
later by Artillery. Lt. Jackson advanced with his men,
although wounded in the head and about the body,
until stopped by a concentrated fire which wiped out
the majority of the attacking force. Lt. Jackson, al-
though rushed back to a first aid station, died without
recovering consciousness. His loss was deeply felt by
the men of the company and the officers of the
regiment. Although he had been with us but a few
short weeks, he had endeared himself to all of us.

“Always considerate of his men and ever ready to
volunteer for a hazardous undertaking, Lt. Jackson
exemplified at all times the highest traditions of the

78

Army and the University of which he was an under-
graduate. As a Yale man, it gives me particular
pleasure to pay this tribute to a brave Harvard man.”

December 15, 1922, he was removed to his final
resting place in the American Cemetery in Belleau
Wood.

He received the War Degree of A. B. from Harvard
College, 1919.

RICHARD KIMBALL

Richard Kimball enlisted in the Marine corps in
1917 and went to Pariss Island, South Carolina, on
December 11, 1917, and later was at Camp Quantico,
Virginia. He arrived in France on April 1, 1918 and
was fatally wounded in the battle of Chateau-Thierry,
on June 22, 1918, and died on June 24.

WALLACE MINOT LEONARD, Jr.

Wallace Minot Leonard, Jr., was born on January 8,
1895, at Germantown, Pennsylvania, the son of Wallace
Minot and Caroline Emery Leonard, and the de-

scendant of staunch New Englanders, the first settlers
in Massachusetts. He was educated in the schools of
Newton, Massachusetts, and a graduate from Amherst
College in the class of 1916. He was a member of
Delta Kappa Epsilon, Sigma Chapter. While at college
he captained the gymnastic team, was managing editor
of the “Amherst Stuckut,” the college paper, was the
head of the Sigma Chapter, and a member of Scarab,
the Senior honorary society. On Class Day he de-
livered the Grove Oration.

After leaving college he went into the medical pub-
lishing business with his father, and in August, 1917,
entered the Plattsburg Officers’ Training Camp, where
he was commissioned a First Lieutenant of Infantry
in November, 1917, and went to France in January,

1918. There he attended the Second Corp School at
Chatillon-sur-Seine until March when he was sent as
an observer with the French army in the Champagne
sector. Later he was assigned to the 79th Company.
6th Regiment, Marine Corps, with which command he
served from March 15th until June near Bougee and
Watrouville in the Verdun sector.

The first week of June he participated in the first
battles of Chateau-Thierry, Belleau Wood, and
Bouresches.

On June 6th he led his platoon in the first wave that
advanced on the village of Bouresches, and with only
four surviving men, and Lieutenant Robertson with
twenty men of the 96th Company, captured the village,
strongly fortified by the enemy. For this action he
received citations from both the French and American
armies, and was awarded the Croix de Guerre with
Palm.

On June 9th, after three days in which the Germans
counter attacked three times and when in spite of a
machine gun bullet wound in the left knee, he had re-
fused to be evacuated, Lieutenant Leonard received his
order to return to the United States as an instructor.

Ordered to Camp Sherman, Ohio, he served as in-
structor with the 83rd and 95th Divisions, and there
on December 12, 1918, he died of influenza-pneumonia.
He was buried with full military and naval honors on
December 15th, at the Newton Cemetery at Newton,
Massachusetts.

He is survived by his widow, Dorothy MacLure
Leonard, to whom he was married June 7, 1917, and a
daughter, Wallace Minot Leonard, born on August 15,

1919.

Colonel Evans, U. S. M. C., in a letter to Head-
quarters, has written, “He was the finest type of
officer,” but what higher praise than these few lines
written home by one of Lieutenant Leonard’s boys,
“Say, he’s a Prince, anyway — there isn’t a gamer man
in the A. E. F. !”

A memorial service was held in Grace Church, New-
ton, on December 15, 1918.

DAVID ENDICOTT PUTNAM

American schoolboys have been nourished on the
stories of Israel Putnam, killing a wolf in his lair at

Pomfret, and as “Old Put,” the Revolutionary general,
eluding the British by his spectacular ride down a
flight of stone steps and turning the tables by the
capture of his enemies. The exploits of his direct
descendant. David Endicott Putnam, were the modern
counterpart of these adventures, calling for not a whit
less of personal courage, and in themselves more ex-
traordinary. Happening in a time crowded with deeds
that would have amazed antiquity, they take their place
without special display in the annals of a new age.
The spirit behind them remains unchanged.

The father of David Putnam, born in Jamaica
Plain, Boston, December 10th, 1898, was Frederick
Huntington Putnam, a Boston wool merchant, who
died while his only son was still a schoolboy. His
mother, Janet (Hallowed) Putnam, is of English birth,
and came to America as a child. When her son was
four years old, the family moved from Jamaica Plain
to Newton, and has more recently lived in Boston and
Brookline. The boy received his preparation for col-
lege at the Newton High School, where he acquitted
himself well in athletics, scholarship, and social re-
lations. The memory of his engaging personality is
still vivid in the hearts and minds of his schoolmates
and teachers.

It is idle to conjecture what Putnam would have
done at Harvard, which he entered in the autumn of
1916, for the United States entered the war while he
was a freshman. Pie left college immediately and
passed the examinations for the aviation service, but
after some weeks of waiting suffered the disappoint-
ment of rejection on the score of hi,s age; he was only
a few months beyond his eighteenth birthday. It did
not take him long to form other plans, and, finding
himself a job on a cattle ship hound for Europe, he
reached Paris early enough to enlist on May 31st, 1917,
as a private in the Foreign Legion. Transferred to the
aviation service, he went into training, June 10, at
Avord. Proving an exceptionally apt pupil, he was
breveted October 17th, continued his training at Pau
and G. D. E. and was assigned, December 12th, to
Escadrille Spad 94 at the front. Later assignments
with the Lafayette Flying Corps were, February 7 —
June 1st, 1918, with the Escadrille Spad (and M. S.
P.) 156, and June 1-14 with Escadrille Spad 38. His
final rank in the French service was that of sergeant.
On June 10, 1918 he received his commission as first
lieutenant in the United States Aviation Service. From
lune 24 to September 1 2th, the day of his death, he
served at the front, first as commanding officer of the
134th Pursuit Squadron, then as flight commander with
the 139th Squadron, 2d Pursuit Group.

In the nine crowded months which Putnam spent in
active service, he made a record which won him, after
the death of Raoul Lufbery, the appellation of “Ameri-
can Ace of Aces.” No other American attained his
distinction of bringing down five German planes in a
single day, and only one Frenchman and one English-
man surpassed this record of a day’s work.

Credited officially with fourteen and unofficially
with twenty planes brought down in combat, it is not
surprising that he won the French decoration of the
Legion d’Honncur, the Medaille Militaire, and Croix
dc Guerre , and the American Distinguished Service
Cross. The large number of unofficial scorings was
due to his frequent crossing of the German lines and
the fall of enemy planes in territory where official
confirmations could not be made on the ground. His

82

qualities as an aviator are suggested in “The Lafayette
Flying Corps.”

The end came on September 13th, when Putnam and
another pilot were attacked by eight Fokkers. Putnam
shot down one enemy but as he attacked, a brace
of Germans got into position behind him and he fell
mortally wounded, probably dead before he reached
the earth. It was a splendid death in the midst of
combat, certainly the ending that he would have chosen
for himself, but the loss was a bitter one to every mem-
ber of the Lafayette Flying Corps.

The Distinguished Service Cross of the United
States was awarded to him in these terms :

For extraordinary heroism in action near La
Chaussee, France, September 12th, 1918. After de-
stroying one of the eight German planes which had
attacked him, he was turning to our lines when he saw
seven Fokkers attack an allied biplane, but was himself
driven down, shot through the heart.

At the Harvard Commencement of 1920 the degree
of Bachelor of Science was bestowed upon him in post-
humous recognition of honorable service in the war.

JOHN L. REILLY

John L. Reilly, the son of Mr. and Mrs. John L.
Reilly of West Newton, enlisted at New Haven, Conn.,
November 26, 1917, at the age of 20 years.

Fie trained in the South and was sent overseas in
April, 1918, where he was a private in Company K,
30th Infantry, A. E. F.

At midnight the 14th of July, this company was
stationed at the Marne River opposite the German
front lines. That night the Germans sent over a heavy
barrage which was the beginning of the Second Battle
of the Marne. This company held its ground in face
of terrific fire, and runners had to continually expose
themselves to flying shrapnel in order to deliver mes-
sages which were necessary for the maintenance of
laisson with other units holding the line. Private Reilly
was one of the company runners and had been sent by
the Captain to Battalion Headquarters with a verbal
message. He had not gone over fifty yards when he
was struck by shrapnel. He managed to crawl about
fifteen yards to a small dugout where twro comrades at

once administered first aid. First Lieutenant A. J.
McMullen, second in command of the company, came
to the dugout and Private Reilly said to him, “Lieuten-
ant, I am sorry, I could not deliver the message,” those
were the last words he spoke as he then became un-
conscious and died a few minutes later.

Private Reilly was wounded about 3 A. M., the 15th
of July, and died about an hour later. He was buried
with all military honors on the bank of the River
Marne.

EARL J. REIN HALTER

Earl J. Reinhalter of West Newton enlisted in 1913

July 25, 1917, and sailed for overseas September 7,
1917, as a member of Company C, 101st Infantry, and
took part in all the engagements of the 26th Division.
Later he was transferred to the Band Detachment, 1st
Depot Division, and died December 22, 1918, at Base
Hospital No. 15 of pneumonia.

WESLEY EVERETT RICH

Wesley Everett Rich, the eldest son of William
Thayer Rich and Abbie Leonard (Everett) Rich, was
born August 13, 1889, at Chelsea, Massachusetts.
When he wras three years of age, his parents moved to

Harvard, and an assistant in the department during
one year ; in 1917 he received the Ph. D. degree.

In 1914 he was appointed instructor in economics
and social science at Wesleyan University, and in 1917
he was made associate professor. In the autumn of
that year he sought and secured leave of absence in
order that he might enter the military service.

83

While studying at Harvard he was married to Miss
Mary S. Rand, of Newton. Having a wife and two
children, to whom a third was added after his enlist-
ment, December 7, 1917, as a private in the army, he
might have claimed exemption ; he might easily have
sought service that would not have exposed him to
danger ; but he chose to go into the army as one of the
rank and file and to depend for advancement on the
quality and character of such service as he might
render.

When the opportunities for advancement came, a
sense of duty forced him to decline them. At Camp
Devens he was assigned to work in the intelligence
service and made himself so useful that on the two
occasions when he was ofifered appointment to an
Officers’ Training Camp the officers with whom he
was working urged him to remain with them for the
good of the service. He made the sacrifice without
repining.

On September 25, 1918, after a brief illness he died
of pneumonia at Camp Devens.

A memorial service was held in the Newtonville
Methodist Church on November 24, 1918.

RALPH O’NEAL WEST

Although Ralph O’Neal West entered Harvard Col-
lege as a member of the class of 1919, he would have
been known as a Columbia rather than a Harvard man
had he lived. But Harvard will always count him with
pride among her sons. The degree of Bachelor of
Arts was conferred upon him posthumously in 1919.

He was born October 24, 1896, at Washington, D. C.,
the son of Robert Rout West and Martha Gibson
(Roberts) West. Pie prepared for college at the New-
ton High School, from which he graduated in 1914, but
owing to a slight sunstroke which he suffered that
summer he was advised to wait a year before entering
college.

In his freshman year at Harvard he was prominent
in many activities. He was a member of the freshman
soccer team, the freshman track team, the freshman
baseball squad, the freshman entertainment committee,
and of Theta Delta Chi.

In the spring of 1916, the Cathedral Choir School
of St. John the Divine in New York invited him to

84

take charge of the athletics of its boys. He had shown
tact and skill in managing boys at a summer camp in
the Maine woods ; he knew that the work would be
congenial. But he was reluctant to withdraw from
Harvard, where he was happy and had made friends
and was in the full enjoyment of college life. His
mother and his brother advised him to remain ; but he
decided that it would be selfish to continue to he de-
pendent upon them when by accepting the offer that he
had received he might become self-supporting and still
obtain a college education.

So he made the sacrifice and went to New York.
He entered on the regular college course at Columbia
in the fall of 1916. Every week-day afternoon from
two o’clock to six he gave to supervising the athletics
of the boys of the Choir School.

On December 15, 1917, West enlisted in the United
States Marine Corps, and was assigned to the 80th
Company, 6th Regiment, 2nd Division. Within a short
time he was highly recommended for the Officers’
Training Camp and would have gone to it had not
sickness, which kept him in hospital for three weeks,
prevented. When he recovered, the chance to enter
the Officers’ Training Camp had passed. On April 18,
1918, he sailed for France. He went through the
fighting at Chateau-Thierry, Belleau Wood, and
Soissons and finally, on September 15, was killed at
Thiaucourt while carrying important messages in the
face of machine-gun fire. He was cited by General
Pershing as follows : “For distinguished gallantry at
Thiaucourt, France, on September 15, 1918.” He
was also cited in general orders, Headquarters 2nd
Division, A. E. F.

He lies buried in St. Mihiel American Cemetery,
Thiaucourt, France.

28 to October 8, 1918, when he died on board ship in

honors in the Newton Cemetery, November 13, 1918.

CHARLES H. WISWALL

Private Charles H. Wiswall was called into the ser-
vice in June, 1918, trained at Camp Dix, N. J., and

A, 335th Field Artillery. He was stationed near
Chateauroux, France. He contracted “flu” and died
there October 17, 1918, after two days’ illness at Base

HORATIO THOMSETT

Horatio Thomsett was a young Englishman who
came to this country just prior to the war. When
America entered the war, as he was not a citizen, he
went to Canada and enlisted in a Canadian regiment
and was killed at Arras on September 2, 1918.

While a resident here he attended Grace Church at
Newton.

Edward B. Smith was the son of Mr. and Mrs.
John Smith of Newton. In the spring of 1917 he
enlisted in the 249th Infantry at Saskatoon, Al-
berta, and was in service in Halifax and Quebec
until February, 1918, when the regiment went over-
seas. He was in camp at Aldershot, England, until
May when the outfit went to the front as the 28th
Infantry Battalion of Canada. On August 18, 1918,
near Arras, he was wounded and while giving him-
self first aid was shot down by a German sniper.
He was buried in an English cemetery. A memorial
service for him was held in Channing Church on
April 13, 1919.

THE YANKEE DIVISION CEMETERY
By Tex Cavitt, 26th Division

The peasant children pass it as they leave the village
school.

The pious strangers cross themselves along the road
to Toul,

The captains call attention as the dusty troops plod by,

The officers salute it though receiving no reply;

’Tis a spot all brown and barren ’mid the poppies in
the grain —

The Y. D. cemetery by a roadside in Lorraine.

A row of wooden crosses and beneath the upturned
sod

The hearts once wild and restless now know the peace
of God,

The brave young lads who left us while life was at
its flood,

While life was fresh and joyous and fire was in the
blood —

Their young lives now enfranchised from mirth or
joy or pain,

They sleep the sleep eternal by a roadside in Lorraine.

Of all the myriad places for the dead of man to rest,

The graveyard of the warrior for a freeman is the
best ;

O ! not for them our pity, but far across the foam

For the gray-haired mother weeping in some New
England home,

’Tis she who has our pity, 'tis she who feels the pain

Of the Y. D. cemetery by a roadside in Lorraine.

The plodding columns pass them along the old Toul
road ;

New companies come marching where yesterday they
strode ;

Above, the whirr of motors — beyond, the roar of guns

Where their allies and their brothers join battle with
the Huns ;

And the sunlight of their glory bursts through the
clouds and rain

O’er the Y. D. cemetery by a roadside in Lorraine.

MEMORIALS

Newton has been sadly lacking in the erection of
memorials to testify her appreciation of the heroism
and patriotism of the youth of this city in the
World War.

Committees of the city government have considered
the matter but the reports they have made have re-
ceived no affirmative action.

The soldiers’ memorial in the form of a flagstaff on
the Newton Centre Green is the most striking memorial
in Newton today. It was erected by the Newton Cen-
tre Improvement Association on a popular subscription
of $5,000. The pole hears bronze tablets with the fol-
lowing names :

Gardner Cades Abbott
Morris Hall Bailey
Thomas Bradford
Elliot Adams Chapin
Alfred Thomas Crane
John James Curley
Henry W. De Rusha
Vincenzo Fusco
Edward Asa Hooper
Leonard Jackson
George Thomas Maxwell
Thomas Cushman Nathan
Carolyn Kennedy Spence
Ralph O’Neal West
DeWitt Clifford Wilcox

Augustus Aspinwall
Harry William Bock
Stafford Leighton Brown
Morton Eddy Cobb
Dorothy Webb Crosby
Eugene Joseph Daley
Robert Louis Forbush
Giovanni Gasbarri
George Stewart Huggard
Malcolm Brown Marsh
Thomas Joseph Mullaney
Eleanor Saltonstall
Edward M. Sullivan
Edward Augustus Wight
Harold John Wood

Mrs. Edward E. Blodgett has given a fountain in
memory of her son, Richard Blodge’tt, now located on
Washington Street, West Newton, near Putnam Street.

A tablet on the lawn of the Emerson School indi-
cates the interest taken by the residents of Newton
Upper Falls, and a wooden tablet on Nye Park, has
been erected by the residents of Auburndale.

The following report of the special committee ap-
pointed to consider the matter may be of interest.

“This committee was created by the order of the
Board, dated February 3. 1919, and as originally con-
stituted was made up of the President of the Board
and Messrs. George M. Angier, Stephen H. Whidden,
Matt B. Jones, and Thomas W. White. Since its
creation the original committee has been enlarged and
now consists of the President of the Board and George
M. Angier, Stephen H. Whidden, Matt B. Jones,
Thomas W. White, Joseph B. Jamieson, Henry J.
Ryan, Endicott P. Saltonstall, Sinclair Weeks, and
Michael Murray.

“The first report of this committee was submitted on
November 17, 1919 — the essence of the report being
that under no circumstances should the memorial and
the city hall be united. The committee felt that it was
unwise at that time to construct a city hall, but did
feel that a memorial of the Great War should be
erected.

“The second report of the committee was presented
in January, 1920. That report stated that there were
two distinct lines of thought among the citizens of
Newton. One group of citizens felt that the memorial
should take the form of a building which should be a
civic and social center for the city, and which should

contain suitable accommodations for the American Le-
gion, the Grand Army, the Spanish War Veterans, and
other patriotic organizations. The second group were
equally convinced that the memorial should be purely
an artistic memorial, without utilitarian function.

“This committee in its report of January, 1920,
fully appreciated that there was much justice in the
view held by each group of citizens. It felt that no
memorial would be a success which did not have the
hearty sympathy and co-operation of the great mass
of the citizens of the city, and it felt there was no im-
propriety or inconsistency in favoring a memorial
which would fulfill the wishes of both groups. The
committee accordingly unanimously reported, with the
hearty approval of the Mayor, that it was desirable
to construct both an artistic war memorial and also a
building for the use of the patriotic and civic organi-
zations of the city.

“The report of the committee suggested as the most
desirable location for the artistic memorial the plot of
land directly in front of the Technical High School.
It also urged that the civic building be located on
Claflin Field, directly south of the suggested site of
the artistic memorial ; the new building, the Technical
High School, and the Classical High School, form-
ing three sides of a quadrangle, facing on Walnut
Street, with the artistic memorial in the center of the
quadrangle.

“In the Accounting Department of the city will be
found the record of appropriations and disbursements
made under authority of His Honor, the Mayor, for
the account of the action of this committee.

“Mr. Henry Bacon was engaged to prepare detailed
plans for the artistic memorial. The first plan sub-
mitted by him was more expensive than desired, its
cost being estimated at from $175,000 to $200,000. The
plan was accordingly modified and in its present form
is estimated to cost $125,000. These plans are on file
with the City Engineer and are carried out in full
detail, ready for actual construction.

“Your committee felt that it was most desirable to
give to all architects residing in the City of Newton an
opportunity to present plans for the proposed civic
building. Accordingly, they asked the Boston Society
of Architects to prepare the specification for a com-
petition open to all Newton architects. The Society
requested Mr. J. Lovell Little, an architect of dis-
tinction, to act as Adviser to the Committee in all
matters pertaining to the competition.

“This competition was held in August of 1920 and
twelve architects submitted plans. The committee re-
quested Mr. Charles A. Coolidge, Mr. J. Harleston
Parker, and Mrs. Walter H. Kilham — all of them
members of the Boston Society of Architects, a Chap-
ter of the American Institute — to serve as a committee
to award the first, second, and third prizes in the com-
petition. They unanimously awarded the first prize of
$600.00 to Mr. Ernest W. Dearing of the firm of
Haven and Hoyt — the second prize of $400.00 to

97

Messrs. Allen and Collens — and the third prize of
$200.00 to Mr. Maurice \Y. Salomon son.

“After the award of the first prize the committee
asked Mr. Bearing to detail his work and submit care-
ful estimates of cost. These estimates of cost were
submitted on December 15th and were, for first-class
construction throughout, $>175,000; and for second-
class construction, $335,000.

“The combined estimates of cost of the artistic
memorial and civic building are approximately as
follows :

For the artistic memorial $125,000

For the civic building 375,000

For the improvement of land 25,000

Total $525,000

The above estimates are based upon 1920 costs. If
the work is delayed, it is hoped and believed that costs
will he considerably less.

“It has been suggested that the central feature of the
artistic memorial, which is a bronze statue, could be
united with the civic building, the statue being placed
in front of the building, which, because of its classical
design, forms a possible background. If this is done
the total cost will be reduced by approximately $75,-
000. This committee feels that its original recom-
mendation for an entirely separate and distinct artistic
memorial and civic building is the wisest course to
follow.

“The Committee on War Memorial feels that it has

carried this work as far as it is desirable until the
City has reached a definite conclusion as to whether a
memorial should be erected or not. The specific
recommendation of this committee is that a memorial
he erected on the High School site and that it consist
of two distinct elements, to wit: an artistic memorial
and a civic building.

“This committee does not believe that the expenses
of the memorial should be entirely borne by the City
of Newton ; and it recommends that the City appro-
priate one-half of the estimated cost of the combined
memorial and civic building, such appropriation to be
conditioned upon the other half being raised by sub-
scription of the citizens of the City.

“It is the feeling of this committee that conditions
are not now opportune either for the raising of sub-
scriptions or for actual construction ; and it suggests
that the City Government take these facts into con-
sideration.

“This committee therefore recommends that the City
take definite action with reference to the following
questions :

(a) Shall there be a memorial?

(b) Shall it be a civic building, an artistic me-

morial, or a combination of the two?

(c) The site of the memorial.

(d) The method of financing the same.

(e) When shall the work be done?

“Respectfully submitted.

(Signed) Henry I. Harriman,

Chairman.”

WAR-TIME INCIDENTS

FIRST SHOT OF THE WAR

LONDON, April 25, 1917. — An American Naval
gun crew on the merchant steamer Mongolia, sank a
German U-boat with one shot on April 19, when
one day out from an English port.

While the people of Massachusetts were celebrat-
ing the 142nd anniversary of the first shot fired in the
American Revolution, two Massachusetts men, Capt.
Emery Rice of Allston, in command of the Mongolia,
and Lieut. Bruce R. Ware, Jr., U. S. N., of Newton,
in command of the gun crew, were striking the first
American blow against the armed forces of Germany
in the present war.

The gun from which the present shot was fired had
been named by its crew for America’s militant ex-
president, Theodore Roosevelt.

Capt. Rice, who has arrived at a British port, told
the story. There was no doubt, he said, that the
submarine was hit, and every reason to believe it was
sunk.

The shell, fired at a range of 1000 yards, was seen
to shatter the periscope.

Instead of ricochetting, it disappeared, indicating
that it had found a mark.

Oil immediately appeared on the surface, another
indication that the U-boat was mortally wounded.

The Mongolia was going at full speed and was a
long distance away when the spray and foam subsided,
but from the bridge the officers observed the spot
through their glasses and they are confident the sub-
marine was sunk.

Capt. Rice outlined the incident with modesty, but
he could not quite conceal the pride he felt in the
achievement of his ship.

He paid a high tribute to the gunners and especially
to the manner in which they were handled by the officer
who directed the firing of the telling shot.

“For five days and nights,” said Capt. Rice, “I hadn’t
had my clothes off, and we kept a big force of look-
outs on duty all the time.

“It was 5 :20 o’clock in the afternoon of the 19th
that we sighted the submarine. The officer command-
ing the gunners was with me on the bridge, where, in
fact, we had been the most of the time throughout the
voyage.

“There was a haze over the sea at the time. We had
just taken a sounding, for we were getting near shal-
low water, and we were looking at the lead when the
first mate cried : ‘There’s a submarine off the port
bow.’

“The submarine was close to us — too close in fact
for her purposes, and she was submerging again in
order to maneuver in a better position for torpedoing
us when we sighted her.

We saw the periscope go down and the swirl of
the water. I quickly ordered a man at the wheel to
put it to starboard, and we swung the nose of the ship
toward the spot where the submarine had been seen.

“We were going full speed ahead, and two minutes
after we first sighted the U-boat, it emerged again

about 1000 yards off. Its intention probably had been
to catch us broadside on, but when it appeared we had
the stern gun trained full on it.

“The lieutenant gave the command and the big
gun boomed. We saw the periscope shattered and the
shell and the submarine disappeared.

“I can’t speak too highly of the cool manner in which
the lieutenant handled his crew of gunners. It was a
fine exhibition of the efficiency of American Naval men.
The lieutenant knew before the shell struck the sub-
marine that its aim was accurate.

“There is no guess work about it, but a case of pure
mathematics. Taking the speed at which the Mongolia
was traveling at the time and the speed which the sub-
marine undoubtedly would make, and computing these
figures with the distance we were from the submarine
when it was first sighted and when it appeared the
second time, it can be showm that the lieutenant had his
gun sighted to the inch. And it must be remembered
that the whole affair took only two minutes.

“I assure you we didn’t stop to reconnoitre after the
accident, but steamed away at full speed, for it was
not improbable that there was another submarine about.

“The submarine undoubtedly had been lying on the
bottom at this spot, waiting for the ship, and came up
when it heard our propellers.

“I immediately sent a wireless message stating that
a submarine had been seen.

“That's about all the story, excepting this : The
gunners had named the guns on board the Mongolia
and the one which got the submarine was called Theo-
dore Roosevelt ; so Teddy fired the first gun of the
war, after all.”

The commander, Bruce R. Ware, Jr., was born in
Newton, Massachusetts, February 27, 1887, attended
the Newton schools. When in the sophomore year of
the High School, in 1903, was appointed to the U. S.
Naval Academy, and graduated in 1907.

A STORY OF WAR BY A FIGHTER

The following story of four years’ experience in the
British Army was written by Corporal William
Hague, a night worker at the Saxony Worsted Hills
at Newton. Hague and his brother John left the
Saxony Mills in 1915 to fight against the Hun. John
was killed in action on September 10. 1916.

Perhaps there is no man who has returned from
the conflict in Europe who saw more hard fighting than
William Hague.

“My brother and I left the Saxony Worsted Mills
on the tenth of February, 1915, to join the British
forces in England. We enlisted the tenth of March
and were sent to a training camp at Caterham. We
were in training there until June and then left for new
Quarters at Chelsea Barracks in London, where we
had another six months’ final training before going
to France. We left England for France the twenty-
sixth of December, 1915. and arrived at Havre on the
twenty-seventh. Then we marched from the docks
up to Harfleur to a large camping ground to await
orders to move up to the firing line.

“After receiving orders we marched to a place called
Popperinge. about 10 miles from Ypres. We got
into the firing line the second day of the new year.
1916. where we worked in and out of the line until
July. The great battle of the Somme was starting,
and our regiment, the First Battalion Grenadier
Guards, was ordered down there. Then came a march
which lasted two weeks. Marching all night and
resting days we arrived at a place called Camay in
the sand hills, where we rested for four days before
going into the firing line again.

“The ninth of September saw us once again into
the trav and on Sunday the tenth, we were shelled all
day long without a stop. In the middle of the day the
Germans had got our range fairly well and amused
themselves dropping big shells in our trenches. We
were sitting down to have our dinner of hard tack

and bully beef when they landed one where my brother
and I were located with about 12 others of our com-
pany and this was where I had the ill-luck or fate to
see my own brother killed along with 10 of the others.
I escaped without injury. We buried them that day and
the next day we marched to Thrones Wood, which we
took on the morning of the twelfth.

“Then we pushed on through the wood and had an-
other battle to capture a village called Ginchv, also a
railway depot, a place called Gillemont. which looked
more like a dump than a railway station. We captured
both places and then came another battle to take a
sugar factory at Le Tranlay, which lasted five days.
It was here I got my first wound, a slight one in the
knee, which put me out of action until the eleventh of
November. On the twelfth of November, I got my
second wound in the foot, also trench feet, which put
me out of action until September 10, 1917.

“By the fifteenth of September came the third battle
of Ypres. in which I took part. Then we held the line
until October the nineteenth, when we had another
battle for a village called Langemark, which we took
after a fierce fight and great loss of lives. Our regi-
ment was then sent to a rest camp, where we were
supposed to rest up. but we did more work here than
on the firing line. Such was our rest camp at Calais.

“On the ninth of November we went up the line
again and on the eleventh we had a battle for a wood
called Bourton M ood. These woods were held by the
Germans for more than a year and it was some fight
to rout them out. We did it in four days’ hard fight-
ing, with very little to eat and drink. Then came the
battle of Cambrai. where we lost more than half our
regiment. It was here I got my worst wound. A
sniper got me as I was taking a message to another
company. Arriving in England I was sent to a hospital
in Sheffield, where I stayed until July, 1918. I was
then sent to an army school where I passed out as an
instructor with a first-class certificate, a position held
until discharged and sent back to the dear old U. S. A.”

REPRESENTATIVE MEN

NEWTON

MASSACHUSETTS

All portraits, unless otherwise
indicated , are by BACHRACH

John Wingate Weeks. One of the outstanding
men of the generation just closed was John Wingate
Weeks, whose political career embraced service as
Secretary of War under the administrations of Presi-
dents Harding and Coolidge, as a United States
Senator for six years, as a Congressman for ten years.
Mayor of Newton for two years and as an alderman
of the City for three years.

He was born in Lancaster, New Hampshire, on
April 11, 1860, and was educated in the public schools
of his native state and at the United States Naval
Academy at Annapolis, Md., graduating in 1881. He
was assigned to the U. S. S. Richmond, serving on the
Asiatic Station until 1883 when he was given his honor-
able discharge from the Navy due to an Act of Con-
gress legislating surplus officers out of the service. All
but ten of his class were thus affected. On his separa-
tion from the service he went to Florida where he be-
came land surveyor for Orange County and later in
1886 was offered and accepted the position of Land
Commissioner in the Florida Southern Railway. In
1888, with Mr. Henry Hornblower, he founded the
firm of Hornblower & Weeks, bankers and brokers, of
Boston. During his active career in business, Senator
Weeks was president of the Massachusetts National
Bank of Boston, president of the Newtonville Trust
Co., vice-president of the First National Bank of

Boston, and a director in numerous other enterprises,
from all of which he retired on his election as United
States Senator in 1913. Soon after coming to Boston
he became an officer in the Massachusetts Naval Bri-
gade, serving with the Brigade for ten years, the last
six of which he was in command. During the Spanish
War he commanded the second district auxiliary naval
forces, and also served as a member of the military
advisory board appointed by Governor Wolcott.

Mr. Weeks was elected a member of the Newton
Board of Aldermen for 1899, 1900 and 1901 and
served as the fourteenth mayor of the City in 1902-
1903. In the fall of 1904 he was elected a member
of the National House of Representatives, where he
served until his election as Senator.

In 1916 he was a prominent candidate for the Re-
publican nomination for president, running second
to Hon. Charles E. Hughes, the nominee of the con-
vention.

As Secretary of War, Mr. Weeks made an enviable
record in the reorganization following the World War.

He retired from office October 13, 1925 on account
of failing health and died at his summer home in Lan-
caster, N. IL, on July 12, 1926.

His family consisted of his wife, a son, Col. Sinclair
Weeks of West Newton, and a daughter, Katharine,
the wife of John W. Davidge of Washington, D. C.

he presided at a large number of banquets, and in-
troduced more than 2,000 speakers during that period.

He continued his interest in literary work after
graduation from college, his last publication being
Portraits of a Half Century, published by Little,
Brown & Co., which appeared in 1925.

In 1918 he was appointed one of the Public Trustees
for the operation of the Boston Elevated Railway, and
served on that Board for ten years, being chairman
of the Board during the last four years.

He was married to Eva Crowell of Dennis, Mass.,
on June 21, 1878, and he and Mrs. Powers celebrated
their golden wedding anniversary in June, 1928. Mr.
and Mrs. Powers have resided for nearly forty-seven
years at 96 Arlington Street, Newton. They had one
